Can a baby with painful urination take anti-inflammatory medication?

Patient's question:

3-year-old baby has pain when urinating and has taken some anti-inflammatory medication.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Has taken medication, but forgot which one.
What kind of help is desired: Can the baby take anti-inflammatory medication?

Doctor's answer:

Pain during urination is often caused by urinary tract infections due to local inflammation from stomach issues. It is recommended to actively take antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, which can improve quickly. However, many anti-inflammatory drugs are prohibited for children. Therefore, it is best to take the baby to the hospital to see a doctor for guidance on medication and treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and drink more water.
