In this instance I think you're better off calling 111 and seeing if a doctor can come to you.
My HV was brilliant as a first point of contact (for me as well as Bethany), but would often have to refer us to the doctors surgery for further treatments. They are trained nurses and can't prescribe as much as nurse practitioners or doctors.

Could also contact your midwife. Mine came out for a scheduled visit to check my stitches at home. But otherwise call 111 or GP.
