Uti or kidney infection?

I've been given nitrofurantoin by out of hours earlier and took the first slow release capsule around 7pm. I'm having less pain in my bladder and less pain when weeing but I still have a high temperature of 38.5. Paracetamol is bringing it down but not quite to normal levels. I'm also having some back ache but possibly from tension and stress as I think it's too high up for kidneys, though I'm not 100% sure. Do I wait to see gp in morning or do I need something more urgent? I it's been a while since I had a uti this bad and I can't remember how long I had a temperature for previously so I'm panicking somewhat. I've had rotten couple of months with one illness after another and I'm starting to wonder if there's something else going on.

I posted similar this evening OP, and the consensus was wait until 2nd dose of antibiotic and reassess.

@namechangepee thanks, could you link to your thread at all? I can't seem to find it.
