I got stung by 8 wasps bout an hour ago and still hurts BAD.Best way to ease pain?


Answer:
Mix baking soda and water (make a paste) put the paste on your bites. That will stop the pain. works for everyone I know. It's the best. If you have swelling, you might want to be checked out at the hospital or Drs office. Just in case of being allergic to bees. Hope this helps. Please try the baking soda. You'll feel much better.
Try applying a mild acid like fruit juice (lemon juice) or vinegar.
go / to er /NOW!
you can always take tylonol or advil. Try to put ice packs on the places you got stung, that will either bring down the swelling or the pain. and if it starts to itch put on some itch cream, that may also help the pain go away
you need anti-biotic and see a doctor you might be allergic
fist the mister
antibiotics are not needed, only if you develop a cellulitis from the bites
Use ice and ibuprofen.
You can also take benedryl for the swelling/itching.
Ice to reduce the swelling, and put a washrag dipped in vinegar on it. - no need to go to the doctor unless you have trouble breathing or your tongue starts to swell. - Take some benedryl if it continues to get larger and more uncomfortable, and it will also make you sleepy.
Sting sites should be treated with an antiseptic to stop any possible infection. Cool compresses can help relieve pain and swelling. Other common home remedies include applying cigarette tobacco, crushed aspirin, or meat tenderizer. These methods are not necessarily endorsed, just recognized. If itching becomes a problem, an anti-itch cream will help. Scratching a sting can open up the skin and allow a secondary infection to get started. If you experience multiple stings or know that you have had systemic or more severe reactions to stings, watch for more serious signs like difficulty in breathing, dizziness, nausea or hives. These symptoms may require immediate medical attention.
