How Can Allergic Swelling And Inflammation In The Arm Be Treated?
Yesterday I was stung by a red wasp just under the elbow of my right arm My arm is very swollen and red with fever and there is a lot of pain. I was applying hydrocortisone cream and felt something rough, when i lifted my sleeve i noticed that there are now tiny blisters all in the area that is swollen. other than benadryl (I took one around 11am)... what else is there?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Red wasp sting is very painful. It produces a lot of inflammatory reaction and swelling.
So painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs are mainstay of treatment.
Limb elevation, ice pack application on bite is also helpful.
If pain, swelling and Redness worsen then better to consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
