Could The Hornet's Sting Affect My Fetus?
I got stung by a hornet today and had an allergic reaction. At the ER they gave me benadryll and prednisone through my IV. They also may have given me one other medicine, im not sure. I may be pregnant and will have my missed period in 5 days (July 30) if i am. Could my baby be in danger?

Hallow Dear,
Hornet sting does not affect the foetus.
Moreover, you have not yet missed your period, so the pregnancy status is doubtful. If at all at this stage, the embryo is affected, it will get aborted. You will not have abnormal child.
I think, you should not have concern about hornet sting.
Hope this helps you,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
