Brief Answer:
some investigations are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms can be due to Urinary Tract Infection ( UTI ). I would advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated.
Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Complete Blood Count ( CBC ).
2. Kidney Function Test ( KFT ).
3. Urine examination ( Routine / Microscopic and Culture / Sensitivity ).
4. Ultrasound KUB region.
Also monitor your temperature.
You can take paracetamol 500mg for relief. Further medical management can be planned after knowing the reports of the investigations.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.

urine culture and sensitivity test will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for providing more information . Burning sensation in urine along with smelly urine and headaches is suggestive of UTI. I would still advise for the investigations mentioned previously.
I hope this answers your query. If you have any further query, please mention.
