Hello, Please to hear about red wasp stung to your wife. If I am your treating doctor I advice you to take look on the center of stung because there might be a thorn of the wasp which remains in the skin. Because this is the case where wasp stung remains for about a week. Other wise in the week duration it is in the edge of healing process. I also give you cefixime tablet 200mg three times a day, anti histaminic chlorpheniramine maleate two times a day, tablet predinsolone once a day for 3 days. Also advice you a local wound care with hydrogen peroxide and neosporin powder. i advice you a followup after three days. If you feel further querry kindly contact me. Dr. Arun Tank . Thanks
