Poor reception support and responses

My 2 year old Grandson has been crying in pain (with suspected tonsillitis) for the past 20 hours. I called the surgery at 8am. He was seen promptly by an advanced practitioner at 8:50, who advised he could be developing tonsillitis. Advice was to call back if he got worse. Which I did… and was told by the first receptionist I spoke to to call back at 5:30 when AP surgery ends, in relation to getting antibiotics prescribed. Called back at 5:30 to be asked ‘why did she tell you that?” This I do not know the answer to. I was following instructions give over an hour earlier. The notes on the system were read out to me and when I asked what the notes meant, I was told “I don’t really know!” Maybe that should have prompted a discussion with a clinician to clarify?!?! I asked for a call back from a clinician and was told his surgery didn’t finish till 6:30. That wasn’t the answer to my question . I asked for a call back, not his off duty. I asked again if I would get a call back after surgery ends and was told “I don’t know!” Was not at all helpful or informative. I was made to feel like an inconvenience and there was no empathy for the fact that a 2 year old was in pain, couldn’t eat, was constantly crying, was drooling cause it hurt to swallow, wasn’t drinking enough in my opinion and there was simply no customer care. Receptionist don’t get a bad rep for no reason. This is why! She did not consult with a HCP, just booked another appointment for tomorrow. At which point I imagine antibiotics will be prescribed…… 17 hours after I requested them. Only issue with this surgery is SOME of the reception staff. My Grandson still hasn’t eaten and will no doubt be up all night in pain AGAIN!! This is not what CQC consider to be safe, caring, effective or responsive!!!!
