Urine infection?

[tomatoesontoast]

DD has been complaining of her tummy hurting since Tuesday evening. She had a fever yesterday and has got worse today (maxing at 40 this afternoon.

Even though she's drinking plenty of water her urine is yellow and smells quite strongly. However when I asked her if it hurt when she weed she said no.

Could it be urine infection?

and even though her 'tummy hurts' she's not off her food - when I ask her to show me where it's not at the bottom, it's the middle bit with the belly button being the centre

Could be. Are you able to get a sample and take it to the GP?

When my DD had an unexplained temperature in the summer the Dr suggested bringing in a urine sample just in case.

Took me three days to get one though and by then she was all better.

thanks eons. Will get a sample from her in the morning and see if I can somehow get a GP to take it - do they test it there and then and get an immediate result?
This evening before going to bed she said that the fleshy cushiony part of her fanjo was hurting..

Yes, if you can't get an appointment, you can just ask reception for the nurse to check it quickly.

They have colour changing dip sticks which will instantly tell if there's something to worry about.

Urine infections can get to the kidneys and cause damage if not treated with antibiotics. So I don't think they'll turn you away, no matter how busy.

The first wee in the morning is the best one to use for sample.

Hope she's ok.
