Suggest Remedy To Treat Wasp Sting Symptoms
i suffered a couple of wasp stings. Later that day I showed a very large local reaction. About 24hrs later I had significant dizziness and some mental confusion, felt like I was having some slight breathing difficulty and tightness in the chest, and had a rapid pulse, felt shaky like I had a big shot of adrenaline. Vitals were 100 resting pulse (normal for me is 62), bp 134/84 (normal for me is 116\70. Symptoms largely subsided half hour to hour later. Only other time I had similar symptoms was about 24 hours after wasp stings last year.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
There is no need to worry for the lymph nodes but you have to take the drugs which I am going to prescribes you below.
Your Benadryl is right in content, there is also a need to add steroid in the regimen this will suppress the allergic reaction caused by sting.
You can also take antibiotics if you are suspecting of having infection due to sting.
Please maintain good hygiene over the bite area you can so this by frequent cleaning and dressing.
Betadine and dettol can be used for dressing and polysporin ointment can be used for applying over the wound.
Thank you.
