DS not passing urine - how long is too long?

[strawberry]

DS2 is 2.5yrs old and has a swollen willy (poor chap). Got some antibiotics from GP who said if he stops weeing to go back and see her. Well he hasn't done a wee for 14 hours now. He keeps crying and saying wee-wee but nappy is dry. I have him on full dose of painkillers and he's had milk and juice this morning but still nothing. I am going to try putting him in the bath to see if that helps him go. TIA

keep his nappy/pants off as cold air can make them pee (or a warm bath)
poor little man - sounds awful for him
I would call your GP again - i wouldn't leave things too long with a young child

definitely the warm bath

Ok he's had a bath and still no wee. Anyone? Docs open at 9am.

keep nappy off and offering water
then call the docs

14hrs!! Definetly trip tp dr or a+e as he made need a catheter.

The doctor is going to phone me by 9.30am. Although no wee the discharge is hideous (sorry TMI). Nappy off and mop and bucket at the ready. Who'd have thought I'd be looking forward to mopping up wee!!

let us know how you get on

Finally spoke to GP just now (after chasing up). We are to go to A&E at 2pm ish if he still hasn't been by then. Fingers crossed.

how did he do strawberry?

maybe they are in A & E?
hope all is well

Sorry completely forgot to update you - all is fine. He eventually did a wee at about 1pm! Thanks for your thoughts.

yay! bet he feels lots better
