Dr. Kimberly L. Cooper, urologist at ColumbiaDoctors and associate professor of urology at Columbia University Medical Center, does actually recommend ibuprofen and other over-the-counter pain killers for UTI symptoms.
Does ibuprofen help UTI pain?
​OTC pain medications like phenazopyridine (Azo), acetaminophen, and ibuprofen can all offer some relief for UTI pain.
While waiting for antibiotics to take effect, a person may benefit from over-the-counter pain relief medication, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Depending on the severity of the pain, a doctor may recommend a specific over-the-counter or prescription analgesic.
