Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to the scorpion bite. These symptoms can persist for few weeks and may need mild pain killers and vitamin B complex supplements for symptomatic relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
