Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Is she having fever? Any history of increased frequency of urination preceding this? How was her bowel habits before- normal or constipated?

Pain while passing urine usually occur when there is urine infection. Urine retention can occur secondary to severe constipation too.

You can give her paracetamol or ibuprofen syrup 5ml. This will relieve pain in 1 hour. If she is not passing even after that, kindly take her to doctor to see what is happening. Urine infection will need antibiotics and constipation needs unloading of rectum with suppository, followed by laxatives for few days.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
