I have heard making a paste with meat tenderiser will help. I have not tried this myself though. Hope it stops hurting soon sweetie.

Also you might try a paste made with baking soda. It cant hurt and may help some.

Amanda, you might have already searched online by now, but I found these tips below:

The most efficient treatments of painful sting wounds include:

*Over-the-counter (OTC) acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief

*An antihistamine for excessive itching — for example, diphenhydramine, also available OTC

*A soothing cream, such as calamine lotion or a paste made from baking soda and water, which can "cool" down the skin and relieve painful itching

Immediately after a sting, applying ice may also provide some relief. Ice needs to be wrapped in a cloth to prevent freezing of the skin. Keep the ice on the sting for no more than 20 minutes every hour. You might also try using an aerosol or cream antihistamine that has a skin coolant in it. Ask at the pharmacy if you're not sure which ones do. Even though it's tempting, don't scratch the sting. It is an open wound, and scratching could introduce microbes that can cause infection.

Normally, if the pain increases or persists for more than a few days, is not alleviated by pain relief medication, or spreads, it's time to consult a health care provider.

OMIGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing makes it stop hurting!!!!!!!geesh! That is one of the most painful things I have ever endured, and that includes 3 childbirths!!!
So here is what you do....make yourself a good stiff drink, put on an Elliott cd, relax, and you'll feel better in no time!

EMT to the rescue - I hope not too late! Wet tobacco from a cigarette. Apply and you should have instant relief.

Yes, Nancy is right. I have heard that too! I hope it feels better. A couple years ago my husband got stung and he said it really hurt like you know what. He is of age and did a few shots of an adult bev. Felt better then. course he was probably passed out. :rotfl:

amandarhea - June 7, 2007 06:53 PM (GMT)
thanks for all the help guys...it still hurts a bit but after those benadryls i got knocked out and didnt feel it. Im still kinda drowesy from it all.

i havent been stung since i was lil but holy crap i hope i never get stung again. I knew they hurt but not that bad...im to afraid to go to my shed so i put my bike in the house to keep from having to go out there around the wasp again lol.

I believe Nancy is right. I once saw this tip on TV. Haven't tried it, though, coz I haven't been stung by a wasp or bee.

Hope you're feeling better now, Amanda.
