If you're not comfortable, then make an appointment. Or check nhs website.
Is child drinking plenty? Try drinking squash with sugar (for energy) or dioralyte. Is child passing urine?

I’m just waiting for a call back from our out of hours service. Just doubting myself but they can decide.

Yes, as PP said it could be a kidney infection. I got them frequently as a teen and they got bad quickly if I didn't start taking antibiotics. Its definitely worth a trip to be on the safe side.

I would phone 111, I don’t think you can get GP appointment at this time.
