Hi, Your dad is 63 yrs old, and he is a known diabetic. He had abdominal pain and diagnosed as urinary infection, because of pus cells in the urine deposit examination. Even after antibiotics the number of pus cells have increased in number. It is not fatal at all. Your father has got urinal tract infection (UTI). Once the antibiotic given is not active, do a culture and sensitivity, that will reveal what type of organisms are there in the urine and its sensitivity to which antibiotic. If you have the correct antibiotic, mild diuretic and urine Kaiser definitely the infection will be controlled. It is difficult to control UTI for a diabetic, compared with Non-Diabetic. It is always better to take a USG - PUB area to assess the urinary tract. Blood kidney function test should be done. Keeping the Blood Sugar under control is very important. Plenty of water + barley rice water is advised. Best wishes
