To wait for 111 callback?

I called 111 around 2 hours ago after noticing a pin prick type of rash all over my 10mo DD. Aswell as the rash she has a temp at 38.6, a sore blister type rash around her mouth (i suspected a drool rash as she is teething) and a wheezy cough. They didn't seem to concerned and I was told we would be put on a waiting list for a consultant call back but we still haven't heard anything back. (Photos attached for advice)

I don't have the means to quickly get to A&E and back if it's nothing. I have £20 to my name, I don't drive nor know anyone who does and the local hospital is 45 minutes away but I'm really worried it could be something serious and don't just want to start getting settled for bed. Should I call them back, wait or go to a&e?

(Rash isn't as obvious in the photos unfortunately, it's worse in person)

Have you checked inside her mouth?
hand foot and mouth possibly?

my DD had it not long ago and the rash was all over not just the typical areas.

have you have Calpol to try get temp down?

If you put a glass over the rash and press does it disappear?? If not call an ambulance.
