Answer:

The wasp stings treatment is similar to that of bee sting but there won’t be any sting to remove from the body.  

• Wash the area with cool water and apply an ice pack  

• Apply a soothing lotion for preventing the pain.  

• Use any diluted acidic substance but always use the medicated one for better results.

Treating wasp stings

Mild to moderate reactions

You can treat mild and moderate reactions to wasp stings at home. While treating your sting at home, you should:

wash the sting area with soap and water to remove as much of the venom as possible

apply a cold pack to the wound site to reduce swelling and pain

keep the wound clean and dry to prevent infection

cover with a bandage if desired

Use hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion if itching or skin irritation becomes bothersome. Baking soda and colloidal oatmeal are soothing to the skin and can be used during a bath or through medicated skin creams.

Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, can manage pain associated with wasp stings.

Antihistamine drugs, including diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine, can reduce itching as well. Take all medications as directed to avoid potential side effects, such as stomach irritation or drowsiness.

You should also consider getting a tetanus shot within several days of the sting if you haven’t had a booster shot in the last 10 years.

Vinegar

Vinegar is another possible home remedy that may be used for wasp stings. The theory is that the acidity of vinegar can help neutralize the alkalinity of wasp stings. The opposite is true of bee stings, which are more acidic.

To use vinegar on wasp stings, soak a cotton ball with apple cider or white vinegar and place it on top of the affected area of skin. Use slight pressure to help with the pain and inflammation. You can leave the cotton ball on top of your skin for several minutes.

Severe reactions

Severe allergic reactions to wasp stings require immediate medical attention. Overall, up to 0.8 percent of children and 3 percent of adults have insect sting allergies.

If you have an EpiPen, administer it as soon as symptoms begin. If you have a history of wasp allergies, administer the EpiPen as soon as you are stung and then call 911.

Treatment for severe allergic reactions to wasp stings can include:

additional epinephrine to calm your immune system

cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if breathing has temporarily stopped

oxygen, steroids, or other medications to improve breathing

hope your wasp sting gets healed...
