Would like some Advise: Stung by Wasp Yesterday - Still Swelling an   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #873 of 2395 |
Hello,

I was working in my garden yesterday and unwittingly disturbed a
wasp's
nest!!
One of them managed to give me a good sting before I escaped from the
angry others.
I immediately started swelling. The swelling increased from a patch
of
about 4 inches on my uppper arm to my entire upper arm (from my
armpit
to my elbow). I used a cold compress for the evening, but the pain,
heat and swelling kept me awake.
There does not seem to be improvement today (almost 24 hours since I
got stung).
I found your site through a google search and would appreciate any
help
or advise you could provide.

Thank you,

Sylvia
