Possible uti/kidney infection

Hi there , I wasn't going to post but I feel clueless right now and looking for a bit of advice on what to do.

I've been feeling pretty unwell for a few weeks and was at the hospital 4 weeks ago and while I was there mentioned that I had side and back pain. She taken a urine sample and everything came back clear but said it could be the start of a possible uti so to drink lots of water.

That's what I did but now I'm feeling really fatigue , the bottom of my back is still sore aswell as my sides and thighs , I've been struggling to sleep and feeling a little short of breath , not to mention feeling dizzy.

I bought home urine test kit as I feel like my doctors just aren't very great and brush everything off (need to change doctors) the colour came under a trace of protein in urine , which I've seen for myself in my urine also. I've eventually got ahold of my doctors after 8 ringing out calls to ask if I could hand in a urine sample to get checked (this was half 2 during the day ) to be told the nurse isn't in until next Tuesday and bring one in then.

I can't phone 111 due to the fact my go is in change in these hours.

Many pharmacists can prescribe antibiotics for UTI’s these days, is that an option? If your local one doesn’t then I think superdrug online dr & I think Boots do too.
Tuesday is too long to wait to check with a nurse.
