A member asked:

What's the best way to take care of a fireant bite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ice first: Then some Hydrocortisone and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream/ointment. Most of all, try not to scratch it!

I know the best time to take Pepcid Complete is 30 mins before eating... but if you take it immediately before taking your first bite, will it still be as effective as it would be if you took it the full 30 mins before?
