Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, the intense pain with swelling over finger after the sting or bite indicates possible cellulitis or inflammation.
* Applying ice for 5 minutes each, followed by turmeric paste application for 45 minutes each help greatly as an herbal healer via decreasing tissue edema and inflammatory response.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
