Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The sting can result in an allergic reaction due to the secretion of venom. Allergic reactions can be immediate or delayed, though immediate reactions are more common. The treatment varies slightly according to the severity of the reaction. In severe reactions (decreased blood pressure, increased pulse, hives, difficulty breathing) hospitalization is required for treatment. Where there is only swelling and rash, you can treat at home by the use of oral antihistamines such as Ben Chat Doctor.  In addition, if the area is painful, you can use paracetamol. If the severity of the reaction worsens, then you would need to seek medical attention. If you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 5 yrs, you also need to take a booster dose. Thank you.
