5 year old screaming in pain - vulva/vagina area

My 5 year old daughter keeps having episodes of screaming in pain at night saying her privates are sore (yes she knows the anatomical names but this is what she is choosing to call them in this situation)

It doesn't look red or irritated, the pain seems to be around the vagina although she is complaining of "sore wees" and has now started saying her bottom hurts too. I haven't seen any sign of threadworms and no, there is no possibility of abuse.

It only seems to arise at night which is why I thought worms but as I say, I've seen no sign of them. I've no idea what to do to stop it as giving ibuprofen, sitting her in the bidet before bed, applying sudocrem don't seem to be helping.

And that's why A&Es are so overcrowded. I'll take her to a GP but this is not an accident or an emergency.
There were ads running in Ireland before telling people it’s better to be safe than sorry. This thread alone has people putting a range of suggestions out- always gp or a and e first (from someone from a family of nurses and who has other relatives that are gps)
