Caring for Wasp Stings
If you find yourself on the wrong end of a wasp’s stinger, here’s how to ease the pain and discomfort. First, gently wash the affected area with soap and water to remove any remaining venom and jumpstart the healing process. For quick relief against pain and swelling, apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the affected area.
For pain relief and inflammation, consider over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. While tempting, avoid scratching the stung area to prevent further irritation or infection. If you notice severe symptoms such as breathing difficulties, facial or throat swelling, or dizziness, seek immediate medical help.
