Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been always been all alergy to stings was sting by a wasp right above left elbow do have delay reactions it was on left elbow area on the inside been monitoring it but it is almost time to shut down I am almost 65 can a person out grow this or do I need to stay awake and monitor
Hi thanks for the query Usually wasp stings don't cause life threatening situations unless you are highly allergic to the same, during which you may experience rashes all over body, breathing difficulty,flushes,etc. As per history mentioned by you there are no such symptoms as of now,so you can relax a bit. However you can take anti allergic medication like tablet Avil twice a day for a day or two symptomatically. Thanks again
