Anti-histaminic drugs are used to control symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Wasp bite causes local symptoms on the site of sting like redness, burning sensation, itching, pain etc.
Besides local symptoms, it can also cause systemic symptoms like fever, malaise, etc.
The symptoms of wasp bite are predominantly due to release of chemical mediators from inflammatory cells.
The treatment is directed to inhibit the release of these chemical mediators and prevent the effect of the chemical mediators.
Anti-histaminic is a group of drugs which is effective against the harmful effects of wasp bite.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of medication.
The medication will control both local and systemic effects.
Thanks and take care
