Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

As your mother is under treatment for for bone cancer, her immunity might have come down. This has caused an increased tendency for her to acquire infection. The high pus cells in urine and cough might result from low immunity and higher susceptibility. Right now she requires immediate treatment with antibiotics to control her cough and pus cells in urine.

Urine culture and sensitivity might have to be done to know which antibiotic is suitable to her. The cough also requires to be treated and giving a broad spectrum antibiotic should help.

You can give her any cough syrup with expectorant to bring down the cough but treating the infection requires antibiotics. A X ray chest should be done to know if there is fluid collection in the chest.
