Suggest Treatment For Painful Swelling In The Hand
I think I was stung by a scorpion 10 days ago om the top of my hand. It swelled to be very large. The hand felt like it was broken. The pain was off the charts for about 3 days. Today day 10 my hand is still very painful at about a 7. Should a scorpion sting still hurt after 10 days?

Hello,
You may need to receive care in a hospital.
You may be given sedatives for muscle spasms and drugs through a vein (intravenously) to treat high blood pressure, agitation and pain.
Meanwhile, you may take over the counter noninflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
