Dear ,
if you are taking ciprofloxacin 500 mg then take 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals with only water and not with milk for 15 days and check urine again to see pus cells have come down to 5 or less. Medications fine.

Patients treated with appropriate antibiotics in the early stages of Lyme disease usually recover rapidly and completely. Antibiotics commonly used for oral treatment include doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime axetil. Patients with certain neurological or cardiac forms of illness may require intravenous treatment with drugs such as ceftriaxone or penicillin.

Hii, cefuroxime+ clavulanic acid (cefakind cv) causing breathing difficulty as a side effect is very very rare. It has never documented so far. But we will see into it. Do you have any nose block, cough when you developed ear infection? A little more information is needed for better assessment.

Cause of you knee pain looks like inflammatory in nature.
Try:
1. Regular knee quadriceps exercises (static and knee bending). 2. Ice pack application will help 3.Medications like Cartigen DN and Enzomac forte will help.
4. Take antibiotics- combination of cefuroxime and linezolid for 5 days, it will do wonders.

I think the paediatrician is right. If you still doubt get a 2nd opinion of another paediatrician and then decide what to do.
