My mom got stung by wasps and has a swollen arm.?!
Question:
My mom got stung by wasps and has a swollen arm.?
she got stung more than once, more like 5 or 6 and her whole arm/hand is swollen. she's fine, but i told her to go to the doctor, she wouldn't listen. should she? i mean it's just swelling that takes place right? nothing else bad will happen to her right?
Answers:
wasp stingers are smooth so there shouldn't be any in the wounds.
she doesn't sound allergic to the stings (at least not highly allergic) take some ibuprofen and have some rest (her not you). it should go away, if the swelling hasn't gone down by tomorrow she should see a doctor.
