Suggest Remedy For Swelling In The Leg Post Snake Bite
My son was bitten by a copperhead last night around 9. He received one round of antivenim around 2 am. Swelling began to go up his leg around 8 pm. The dr now says we missed the window for more antivenim. What should they do? His leg is swollen up to his knee with a red line up to his knee

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is nothing can be said any thing for sure because copper head is lethal one, now all is depends how the antivenin works, life is matter of concern and not the limb, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
