Via consult: Would need to be an after-hours virtual consult - which you can do as you are waikato based otherwise no would need to see a doctor in person such as GP or after hours clinic (or request from GP via phone may be appropriate in some circumstances). There are also some treatments pharmacists can give over the counter. Any of these options may help. All the best.
