A member asked:
Is severe swelling from a wasp sting normal after 48 hours or should i see a doctor? i was stung on the top of my foot.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergic reaction: The appropriate treatment would be oral antihistamines and cool soaks to the foot , that should cause the swelling to disappear
