Question 9

my 11 month old was just stung by a hornet. there are no signs of allergy but he's really fussy now. ?

Accepted Answer

Not surprising: What you want to watch for is development of rash, swelling other than a little at the site of the sting, especially around the mouth; or breathing difficulties.  The best treatment for now is to apply ice, it will minimize the spread and reaction of the venom.  Keep an eye out for any swelling or redness that develops in a couple days--that usually indicates an infection.  Hornets eat garbage.

Accepted Answer

Infection or allergy: Dark yellow or green mucus draining from nose could be due to an infection ( viruses and bacteria can cause this). Allergies can also cause this.
