Wasp stings! Help quickly please

Hiya, just been in the kitchen to make the bairns their milk before bed and stood on what I thought was glass as it bloomin hurt! lifted my foot up to take out the glass and it was a wasp. OUCH! I never remember it hurting this much as a child. Inbetween my little toe and the one next to it is where I have been stung both of these toes have swollen up and so has the base of my foot just before the toes. It hurts to put any pressure on it. MIL says I can put some onion on it but this isn't working. Is there anything else out of the cupboard I can use?

Thanks in advance.
Tams :)

    Hi Rusty,

    You should get advice from your GP or local pharmacist.

    I'm really sorry to hear about the sting but I'm afraid we aren't allowed to ask for, or give medical advice or natural remedies on this forum so I'm going to have to close this thread. Please see the forum team's post here for more details.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com.[/EMAIL]
