Suggest Remedies For Swollen And Red Hand With Nausea Post Horsefly Bite
Hi I got bitten by a horsefly yesterday and my hand is very red and swollen. I am now feeling nauseous and have every painful earlobes. Are the two things related despite being 30hours later? I have taken two antihistamine today and just taken some ibruptofen; is there anything else I can do without going to a doctor?

Hello
For now what you've done is all you can do.
You can apply ice to the hand but if the swelling continues beyond two days you need to see a doctor about this since you may be getting a skin infection
