Does Pain During Urination Need Immediate Consultation With Urologist?
my 3 1/2 yr. old son has painful urination- they said it s from strep he had in his throat and it went to his urethra. He has been on amoxicillan, had ointments for his penis and pain relieving dye pills. They said if he s not better in two days, I need a scan and then maybe a urologist. Should I just take him to a urologist now?

Pain during urination can be caused by infection in the urinary system, irritation or injury of the genital area, or stones (small masses of minerals) in the urinary tract. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common cause of painful urination.
Treatment:
Give antibiotics for UTI
Encourage drinking lots of water and juices.
Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen as needed for discomfort.
If no relief:
Consult your doctor and ask for investigations like USG, Urine analysis etc.
