What to do for a wasp sting.?

What to do for a wasp sting.?
Yesterday I was stung by a wasp on my ear and the inside of my wrist. The one on my ear is fine, but the one on my wrist is red and swollen and it hurts to move my hand and fingers. I'm not allergic to wasp's but I don't know how to make it stop hurting. It itches around it too. In the spot where I was stung the is a knot in my arm. The swollen and red part is probably about 4 inches long. What should I do?

  1. Well its kinda late but baking soda mixed with water, make a paste and try that. Next time apply it immediately. But sometimes it just itches and swells after anyway so don't worry. Oh Benedryl too will help the itching.

  2. Its sounds as if the stinger (as i call it) is still in your wristPut a bit of vinegar in it and it stops the pain, then put some ice on it which should help to calm the swollen area down a bitxxx hope this helps xxx
