Wasp sting ...Ouch !!

[englishrose67]

I went strawberry picking with my daughter and grandchildren today until a wasp went up my sandle and kept stinging one of my toes !! . Absolutely killing still now. Chemist recommended hydrocortisone cream so I've put that on it. I can see toe is swollen .just glad it didn't get the children. Damn wasps.

Ive taken cetirizine and im on prednisolone so hopefully that will all help too

Having my bilimimab infusion Wednesday so hope i am still allowed to have it

Dear englishrose67,

You poor old 'thing'- OOOWWWWCCHHH, very definitely! As you say at least the children were, all alright. As regards your injection, this not a drug I know, so I can't comment. However I WOULD speak , to your Doctors/Consultants, if you are worried. There used to be, perhaps still available, called 'Sting Relief' it was a Topical Cream and, as I recall, quite good.

Hope that you feel better soon, as you say 'Damn Wasps'.

Hi AndrewT

Thanks for your reply

.That's what I thought pharmacist would recommend sting relief but she said to use the hydrocortisone cream.

Its still sore today but itching like mad now ! .so trying not to itch it as I know that'll make it worse .hope cream kicks in soon and you're ok

Take care
