Suggest Treatment For A Wasp Bite
I am undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and taking injuctions of neupogen. I got bit by a wasp about 1 hour ago. I cannot find a stinger and not sure if it is inside my skin. The area is a little painful. I disinfected it with alchohol. I checked fever and so far 98.9. Is there anything else I should be doing? Is there a chance that i get dangerous infection ( due to chemo)?

Hi,
No, currently it seems all good. You just take any antihistaminic medicine like Cetirizine, to prevent allergic reaction and monitor your condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
