To ask that Out of Hours GP does bloods tonight

We’ve got an appointment for my child this evening. I’m concerned it might be appendicitis. I have not had good experiences at the out of hours service locally. Those who’ve had children with appendicitis, how did they diagnose it? Should I ask that they take blood to check for infection markers? Anything else I should be aware of?

You need to go to A&E. Mine ruptured and turned gangerous 2 days after pain began.

Wouldn't suspected appendicitis be more A&E's department?
