    Yes, if he is complaining of pain when urinating best to get it checked out ASAP as a UTI can get quite nasty. Give him plenty to drink before going so that he can wee when they ask for a sample. Also extra fluids will help a bit with the pain.

    might have to make the trip once he wakes up.
    can they diagnose it on the spot?

    Yeah they can do a FWT where they dip a stick in to test for infection markers. But it still may have to be sent off (they should do this) so as that they know they are prescribing the right antibiotics.
