Hello

Findings may indicate UTI(urinary tract infection).UTI is indicated due to presence of excess pus cells and turbid appearance of urine.
Epithelial cells and mucus threads are normally found in urine.
Trace amount of protein is normally found in urine.

You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,renal function test,ultrasound of abdomen,urine culture/sensitivity.
Nitrite test and leukocyte esterase test can be done for confirmation of UTI.

Proper antibiotics should be based upon culture and sensitivity report.
You should drink plenty of water.
You may need alkalizing syrup.

Get well soon.
Take Care
