Wasp stings?
got stung on thursday by a big wasp on my wrist-hurt like hell & I swore lots, didn't look to be any "sting" in me-couldn't squeese it out, I've still get the swelling now (sunday) and it still hurts-any counsel?
Answer:
Daft put somebody through the mill, but are you SURE it was a wasp?
Now... the 2 times I own been stung by a wasp, vinegar administered right now helped relieve the spasm. wasp stings are alkaline so acid help. Wasps also do NOT leave a sting, designation alas that the same one can sting you over and over.
Now, the apology I asked if it was a wasp is because, we have what we thought was a wasp within the kitchen, but it had a buddy... wasps are across the world solitary and bees are social. anyway it turned out that it was a moment or two lighter in colour and a tiny bit smaller than a wasp and was really a species of bee.
If you put vinegar on and it hurts MORE then it be probably a honey bee (although if the blighter flew away that is smaller amount likely as it would probably own died after the sting)
Anyway bee stings are acidic so vinegar would unsurprisingly aggravate this.
Regardless... if the vinegar makes it hurt worse, or if it soothes it but the swelling does not step down in a couple of days, return with yourself to a doctor (sooner if you think it could own been a bee and the vinegar make it worse) as you could be suffering from an allergic reaction.
Get better soon :-)
I would try cleaning it next to iodine and/or rubbing alcohol. However, if the pain increases to your paw or arm I might suggest the doctor.
Try putting vinegar on it, and stop squeezing it, a wasp doesn't will it's sting.
How can i find some really good smoking facts?
put vinegar on it mate? wasps dont usually move off there stings losing,its bees that do that,thats why you get stung more by wasps,because if a bee stings you its tail comes sour and it dies? vinegar will do the trick?Need advice from a physician or nurse.?
I carry stung alot and the best way I've discovered to matter with it is as soon as it happen apply ice to the nouns for about 5 minutes next put toothpaste on it. Regular toothpaste, not gel. It also helps to hold a Benadryl. In about an hour it looks and feel like I haven't even be stung.How do you treat a fractured pelvis?
You need some anti-histamine cream and, possibly, some tablets to lift. Ideally you should see a doctor if it gets really doomed to failure as you could have an anaphylactic shock. But since it's be a few days and you're obviously not within shock, it may be a case of getting the swelling down and preventing infection. Try your local chemist to see if they own any anti-histamine cream. Apply as on the instructions. To reduce the dull pain, you can try an ice-pack applied locally. Don't try to squeeze the swelling, whatever you do. If the niggle gets worse, turn to A&E. They will have steroid to give a hand you.Wasps don't leave their stings in you, but bees do. It sounds approaching it could be an allergic reaction, so you stipulation some antihistamine tablets or cream. You should really see your GP, because if it is an allergic reaction, IF you ever win stung again the reaction may be even more extreme.
You could try a cold pack or some rime wrapped in a teatowel to bring down the swelling in the tight time :)
Help - i need an answer to this!?
apply rime to it, and if you have no medical conditions that would interfere, embezzle some tylenol for pain and benadryl for the swelling. It should clear up in a morning or two.Paramedic in SC
