Stung On Finger, Very Painful, No Swelling Or Redness, No Fever Or Nausea. Taken Advil And Benadryl. Worry?
Husband got bit on the finger by something outside. Not sure what bit him. He was working in yard and picked up a stick and something on the stick bit or stung him. He is experienced much pain but no swelling or redness. After about 45 min from the initial bit, the pain was still pretty bad and he said there was pain was going up his arm. We got a magnifying glass to looked for the bit but see nothing. There is still no readness, no swelling.( There is no red streak up the arm). He is not feverish or nasious yet. Just the pain in the finger and up the arm. He has taken two advil, and two benedril(?) and is lying down with ice bag on the finger. I was worried about a spider bit. We have lots of spiders in the yard where we live in Jax Florida.
Hi, It seems that your husband might have some poisonous bite giving rise to this problem. Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl tablet for 1-2 days. Wash local part with antiseptic lotion. Take some pain reliever tablet. If problem increases go to ER for possible toxic effects of bite on the body. Ok and take care.
