A member asked:
How many wasp stings are too many for a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: This is variable and greatly depends on whether the child has an allergy to the wasp venom. If the child shows any symptoms other than a local redness, swelling and pain at the site of the sting, such as facial, lip, eyelid, tongue swelling, respiratory distress, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. - get seen asap for potential severe reaction.
