Could Lethargy/long Nap In A Child Be A Reaction To The Wasp Bite?
My 3 1/2 year old son was stung by a wasp earlier this afternoon. It imComediately swelled up and we put baking soda on it. It then went down and he seemed to be acting normal. However, he has now been asleep for almost 3 hours and I am starting to get worried that he is having some type of reaction. Should this lethargy/longer nap period be something to be worried about?

Hi...apart from the baking soda you applied did you give any oral anti-allergic medication for him. If so that might induce some sleep. If you have not given anything...then I suggest you consult your paediatrician please.
