Hello,
you did well sharing your concerns.
I would advise you to go see a doctor as soon as possible, do not wait for 3 days. It is likely that since the pessary was uncomfortable, it might have caused some damage to the mucosa (inside lining) of your vagina. Hence, some local infection might have set in. I would not advise starting antibiotics on your own. Rather, visit your doctor as soon as possible.
Your urine isn't necessarily infected in case there is an infection of your vagina. Also, even if your urine might be infected, it does not necessarily burn, or appear turbid.
Hence, do visit your doctor soon.
I hope this advice helped you,
Best regards
