After you have cleaned it with soap & water, you can do a couple of things:
Take 1/2 tsp of meat tenderizer, 1/2 tsp of baking soda & mix with a bit of water to make a paste. Apply it to your wrist & leave it on for 30 minutes.
Also,gently rubbing household ammonia on the bite can help neutralize the itching.
Take 2 (25mg adult dosage) Benadryl Capsules & gently rub Hydrocortisone Cream to help the itching
If itching persists, Lanacaine cream is excellent for relief
Just wait a couple days, if the itching persists call a doctor.
Or, just call now if your concerned... look it up or something.
Try some hydrocortisone.
Ow!
The best time to treat it would have been right when you got stung, with vinegar and baking soda.
Try icing it. And if that doesn't help consider seeing a doctor about a possible allergic reaction.
Good luck!
This sounds really really weird but try toothpaste. It stops the pain immediately and after its been on for about 10 minutes you can take it off and about a couple of hours later you don't even know you had a sting.
You can either use the paste or gel but the paste is easier to use
wet snuff takes care of it
make a paste out of baking soda a little bit of water added to some baking soda will help but also it would help if you took a needle or a pair of tweezers to see if you can get the stinger out because more or likely if it is irritated that bad the stinger is still in there and needs removed. good-luck
