What first aid should be given in the case of an insect bite?
Answers
Answer:To take care of an insect bite or sting that causes a mild reaction:
Move to a safe area to avoid more bites or stings.
If needed, remove the stinger.
Wash the area with soap and water.
Apply a cool compress. Use a cloth dampened with cold water or filled with ice. This helps reduce pain and swelling. If the injury is on an arm or leg, elevate it.
Apply 0.5 or 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion or a baking soda paste to the bite or sting several times daily until your symptoms go away.
Take an antihistamine (Benadryl, others) to reduce itching.
Usually, the signs and symptoms of a bite or sting disappear in a day or two. If you're concerned — even if your reaction is minor — call your doctor.
