I'm not experienced in these situations, but as a regular with two interns I would try to overcome my anxiety, how ever hard that would be. It could be a possibility to overcome that anxiety in the long run. Try to prepare for such situations when you're not at work, but in the safe environment of your home. Stand in front of a mirror and imagine you're in such a situation, being the only person to be able to respond to such a call. Just pick up the phone, how difficult it may be, and respond with something like "Sorry, but there's nobody around right now and I'm not qualified to answer your question. can someone call you back later today?".
Just my thoughts, and no idea if it can help you, but the only things I could think of.
