Suggest Remedy For Swollen Fingers
Hi, something bit my hand, in the dark outside and couldn t see what it was, didn t feel the bite, just started itching, extremely, and within 5-10 minutes, an area 3-4 inches in diameter, also my index finger has swollen significantly. its becoming mildly numb and it is very warm to the touch. I took two Benadryl a few minutes ago but it feels as if it is getting worse
