Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think I was stung by bee or wasp yesterday on palm of my hand. Sharp pain in my hand while working in garden. Didn t see stinger,( but my palm is itchy/burning now. Also scratched same hand on rose bush, and that area on top of my hand is painful a slightly swollen. What can I do?
The symptoms seem to be related to an insect bite. I suggest using antihistamines such as Benadryl. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
