Now I KNOW it's crazy to ask for advice online, but surgery is closed and 111 is worse than useless - a TERRIBLE replacement for our once excellent out of hours service and NHS direct
Ds, 12 months, has been unwell for a while. Diarrhoea, not bad, and then a fever. Dr checked him on tues and cd find nothing wrong.
That eve he suddenly developed a really scary swelling in his groin - one testicle swollen and a big semi hard lump in his groin. Called go instantly, and took him to eve surgery where he had a temp but swelling vanished.
Today swelling came back in the afternoon, ,more noticeable, and harder. I couldn't work out whether it was crying that was causing the swelling - he had temp and is generally pretty miserable - or whether the swelling was causing him pain.
Is ther any reason why I can't wait till tom to take him back to the gp? Is ther anything scary I should be worried about?
I have rung 111 but they wre totally useless- just ran through their is he breathing check list and said not one single helpful thing
