Brief Answer:
You may try syrup citralka

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Pain relievers in this age group are not very safe to recommend for this kind of symptom. You may try syrup citralka(mixed in water) to relieve her symptoms if it was due to UTI. Also let her drink good amount of water which also helps in relief of her symptoms .
However, she might need ultrasound of abdomen/pelvis including thorough physical examination to correctly diagnose the condition.

Hope it helps!
