Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Itching After Stung By Wasp
I got stung by a wasp on my hand, thumb area, two days ago. It is quite swollen and itchy. I have taken over the counter anti-histamines and using triamcinolone cream and it istill quite sore. I now notice my vein going from the bite 1/2 way up to elbow is blue. Is that something I should be concerned about. I am an 83 year old female in fairly good health.

Hello, thank you for your contact to healthcare magic. If I am your treatment giving doctor I would like to tell you that all the treatment you have taken is right, there is a probability that the bite wound is infected. It is requirement of the antibiotic to be added. I think you should think for the cefixime tablet. Take all of the rest medicines as you are taking. If you want to ask anything you can ask me. Thank you Dr A run Tank.
