Suggest Remedy For Swollen Finger After Getting Stung By A Bee
Im not sure if I was stung by a bee or a wasp, but I have had swelling for more than 24 hrs on my finger and there is clear fluid that comes out as I push around it. It is itching as well. I was on a road trip so I was unable to ice and part of the stinger was left in for several hours until I was able to remove the rest with a sterilized sewing needle. Will this get better, or should I go in to a clinic? Thank you.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through our query.
As far as the swollen finger is concerned, it can be secondary to allergic reaction to stung by a bee. Nothing to be panic, you can take a course of antiallergic drugs like cetrizine and antiinflammatory drugs like serratiopeptidase. It will subside in 3days time, if it is not subsiding, then consult a physician and get it evaluated.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
