What Causes Swelling, Itching And Throbbing Pain At The Site Stung By Wasp?

I got stung 24hours ago by a wasp. I have no severe reactions but about 5 hours ago I started experiencing swelling about the size of a plum, hardening of the skin and an odd itching/numbness and throbbing of the sting sight. The sting sight is just below my lower lip. What should I do for this?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should start taking anti allergic medication.

As you have not received any serious reaction. There is no need to take emergency medication.

You can take tab. cetrizine tab prednisolone cream under your doctors guidance. Apply polysporin powder under your doctors guidance.

Maintain local hygiene by local cleaning and dressing.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
