Urinary infection: Symptoms rvery suggestive of uti. You need to hacve a urinalysis to confirm ; antibiotics. Call any local gp's office, express clinic or hospital emergency room. Don't be scared of hospitrals. They won't do anything painful or unpleasant other than give you a urine cup ; wipes to clean your genital area. They will also weigh you ; take your blood pressure. You'll need hospital if ; when pregnant.
