Wasp Sting Trouble
Okay, so yesterday i got stung by a wasp. It barely even stung me. But this morning i woke up and it was swollen, red, hot to the touch, and was really hard. And it`s only getting bigger. Whats happening? What should i do? And the cream that my mom put on it makes it 2 times bigger.
PS: If you dr. will allow it, an oral antihistamine may help better like Benadryl ??
Hi,
Wasps can be nasty. You can have you Dr take a look. I think that usually if it's in the same area that you were stung in (on the same limb) it's called a local reaction and can get quite big. Eyes, mouth are exceptions I think. Of course, do ask your Dr or make an appt as we are not medical professionals -- just a mom with mega experience with my daughters' allergies which include bee sting.
It is probably a delayed reaction since it's take overnight to develop.
