Hi,

Flavoxate, will help to relieve dysuria and urinary urgency. It's a safe tablet for the above symptoms. It may alleviate the symptom that your daughter has, but the cause for dysuria (i.e pain while passing urine)should be found and treated.

A common cause for dysuria in that age group is cystitis, urinary tract infection or sometimes renal stones.

As urine culture is not available near to you, a urine routine test can be done, which will give us a lot more information.

If any constipation or voiding dysfunction is there, that need to be sorted out and toilet training should be done if not yet trained.

I would suggest you check the correct dosage of flavoxate for the child from your paediatrician.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
