How Can A Wasp Bite Arm Swelling And Itching Be Treated?
I was stung by a wasp yesterday @ 4:00 p.m. I have never know I was allergic but my arm has swollen up really big. I used Alegra cream on it, which helped but did not stop the itching. but the swelling is huge. I can t take Benadryl during the day but will it help the swelling if I take it tonight?

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that you can take the benadryl at night there is not a problem with it. also take antibiotics like amoxycillin and clavulinic acid. I also advice you to take a steroid 5 mg prednisolone tablet that will reduce your sweling very fast. Also take proper care of your wound to recover fast. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
