Wasp sting venom is alkaline and so its effects can be neutralised with lemon juice or acid and this neutralisation reduces the pain

Heya!!!

Wasp sting venom is alkaline and thus should be neutraluzed by applying some acid over it inorder to get relief.So the remedy of applying lemon juice which is an acid is approppriate abd advisable to apply over where the child was stung by wasp.lf baking soda is applied , the situation would have had become even more worser.

HOPE IT HELPS!
