Hello,
Yes Ibuprofen can cause concentration of urine which can smell foul.
It can be managed well within 3 days by drinking sufficient water. In case it does not stop, you need to get urine investigated. To exclude urine infection, get it treated under expert care.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
