My DD (4 next week) has a suspected urine infection. Shes been in pain for a couple of days but today it's been unbearable for her and she is hysterical whenever she tries to wee - to the point where she just wont do it now. Due to the bank holiday, the docs surgery is closed. I phoned nhs 24 and spoke to a lovely nurse who said she would find me an appointment at my nearest medical centre. The closest emergency one is 15 miles away (don't drive) and the first appointment is 9.45pm tonight.
I think this is really late especially for a child so young. I asked if a doctor could come out (I've no transport, I'm 8 months pregnant and DD is so uncomfortable) and was told no that's only for emergencies and people in cut off rural areas.
My brother has kindly agreed to drive 35 miles to come and pick us up and take us through but im still a bit put off going at that time of night especially on bank holiday Monday.
In the meantime, any advice on how to keep DD calm and help her calm down when she needs to wee?
