Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.


I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Scorpion sting in most cases doesn't need medical treatment, but if you notice any moderate to severe symptoms such muscles spasms or any sign of allergic reaction, you should be treated.

So, don't panic, just go to get evaluated by your Doctor.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
