What Causes Dizziness After Stung By Scorpion?

I got stung by a scorpion in the cheek a couple of weeks ago. I did not have any pain just numbness throughout my body for a couple of day. But I am feeling very tired and listless. Can this still be from the sting. I also have Fibromyalgia and I guess it could be that too.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes a scorpian sting and fibromyalgia collectively causes this weakness.

In my advice you should not worry as this will be cured soon.

You van take the paracetamol for pain relief, glucose powder for the energy purpose. ORS can also help as it will supplement the essential minerals that has lost in the scorpian bite.

Scorpian sting can be lethal immediately after the bite but it will not after a day or two has passed.

You should take care for the local wound, I advice you should do local cleaning and dressing. This will cure up the wound readily.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
