If you got stung on wednesday, and it's only gotten worse, go to the doctor- wasps often carry staff infection, which requires antibiotics. Make sure you go to the doctor as soon as possible!

It's probably not infected, if it was, you would have oosing white puss coming out of your sting spot. It sounds like you had an allergic reaction. The same thing happens to me, I take some Benadryl and that always helps a lot. (liquid Benadryl works the fastest.) You might try that, it will probably take the itching and the patch on your arm away. It will probably take the heat away from it too; either way it should help a lot. But it may make you a little drowsy. :)

well, it depends actually. As a precaution, clean the wound and use a marker to show the area of the redness. Trace the outside of it. If the redness starts going towards your heart, i would contact a docter. From what it seems, its only a reaction. Keep it clean. im only 15 but had a internship and something similar to this hapened.

The same thing happened to me about a month ago. I took some Benadryl every 5 hours and put ice on it to reduce the swelling. It should go away but if you feel in the least like it is getting hard to breath or you are beginning to swell all over go to the emergency room. Otherwise, some Benadryl for a day or two will do the trick.

that is huge xD. My bites never get above like 2 inches. Your blood must be more sensitive to wasp stings. Its probably no infective with anything else serious other than the poison, unless this isn't normal for you either. Ice it and wait is really all you can do. You can put some ointment on it to ease the itch, but time really covers this kind of stuff.

No. it's just the after effects of the sting. Put hot cloths on it, as warm as you can stand, as often as you can stand. Then when you go to bed put a dot of toothpaste (preferably a pasty kind rather than gel) right over the sting spot. It should be o.k. in a couple of days. If you begin to feel worse, or feel really ill, or it's not better in a couple of days, see a Doctor.

Wasp stings can do this. You should take a benedryl and aspirin and get a good night's rest and it will be ok in 24 hrs but still itchy

Yeah you could be ALLERGIC. In that case you NEED TO GO GET A SHOT AND MEDS NOW!!

Not normal sound like an allergic reaction to the venom. Put an antibiotic ointment on it. If no improvement in 3 days see the doctor.
