DH thinks he might have a kidney infection. The GP is closed today and I don't know whether he should wait till tomorrow or go to A&E today. He's been feeling tired and generally unwell for a few days. Has diarrhoea, feels sick and has lost his appetite. Has now developed a pain in his side. He used a home test on his urine this morning, which indicated a possibility of kidney issues.
Am not sure how serious a kidney infection is. He'll need antibiotics, won't he?
He is meant to be doing a three-hour journey to my family tomorrow and we are going to a wedding a few days later. He's not going to be well enough if it's his kidneys, is he?
