Is A Painful Swelling In Leg Post A Wasp Sting On Foot A Cause For Concern?
About 5 hours ago I was stung by wasp 3x in my left foot/ankle. Now it feels mostly better, but I have an odd swelling in my upper inner right leg on the left side of the leg and it hurts 4/10. Should I take benadryl in case it is an allergic issue, or could it be a blood clot?
