Suggest Remedy For Headache, Insomnia And Hot Flashes
In January of this year, I instilled steroid drops in my eyes after cataract surgery and my intraocular pressures increased significantly. Was told by doc at that time that I was a steroid responder and I should be cautious when taking steroids. Today, I received a cortisone shot in my knee. Will that affect my eye pressure? I am experiencing a slight headache, insomnia, and hot flashes with sweating. Is this from the cortisone injection also? it didn t occur to me until after the knee injection that maybe I shouldn t have taken the shot. Now I m concerned.

Hi,
Treatment for BEE STING depends on the symptoms it present with:
- Wash the area with soap and water
- Take oral antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
As you are already taking it, continue the same or you can use non - sedatives like loratadine for itching and swelling.
- Take analgesics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen
- Steroids of swelling or other symptoms like breathing difficult is present
- Also hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion for itching, redness with burning sensation
- Apply cold pack to the bitten site
Usually the symptoms will be at peak for 2 days and reduces within a week.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
