Is The Swelling In The Foot Common After Bit By A Wasp?
My son was stung on his foot by either a wasp or hornet two days ago and his foot is still swollen. Other than the localized swelling He did not have any type of allergic reaction in terms of breathing, heart rate, etc. Is the extended swelling common ? Should he seek medical attention and if so would the treatment only be to treat the symptoms (selling) ?

hi,
it could be simply because of local inflammation or in rare occassions it may get infected..
touch and see wether it is more warm and if the boy has fevers it is a concern..
otherwise it is sufficient if he takes serratiopeptidase and diclofenac to reduce swelling and pain..
if you have any more queries i would be happy to help you..
