A member asked:

Could 500 mg of paracetamol stop or alleviate the pain of dysuria if a person has a uti? i am not talking about the back pain that sometimes arises.

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

More effective meds: Paracetamol probably won't help much with dysuria. A much more effective medication would be Pyridium (Phenazopyridine) or its equivalent in Australia. Pyridium is an actual bladder anesthetic. Best wishes!
