Suggest Treatment For Hermit Crab Bite
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear. She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Hi...usually hermit crab pinches do not require any treatment. If she has taken all regular vaccine shots as age appropriate schedule demands, nothing to worry about it. If she is in pain you need to give her some pain killers or paracetamol, that is all.
