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?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this the swelling then better to have anti-inflammatory drug and best would be "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day and Diphenhydramine lotion can be applied in case of infection antibiotic can be used, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
