My urine test report shows pus cells at 5-6 hpf, and my doctor said I have a UTI. Can you explain the treatment process for this and let me know if there are any risks involved?

For a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) diagnosis with 5-6 pus cells/hpf, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics, such as Nitrofurantoin, Ciprofloxacin, or Amoxicillin, for 3-7 days to clear the infection; also, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene; potential risk factors if left untreated include kidney damage, recurrent infections, and sepsis, so complete the full antibiotic course and follow up
