I got sting by some insect on my middle finger has been swollen and it's been very painful. I spoke with my doctor she recommend Benadryl until I see her tomorrow. Should I wait and go to my appointment or go to the emergence? I've been taking 4 children's WAL-DRYL since yesterday but, it still hurting.
