Small honeybee or spider bite

2025-12-15 11:20:55
Got sting by a small thing spider or honeybee and it pained like  needles going though. There is a small red dot and swelling. Now pain and swelling have reduced. Applied dettol. It has been 4 hours now and no allergic reaction or breathlessness as of now. Hope all okay or anything else that I should keep a check on.

✓Because pain and swelling are reducing, this looks like a simple insect sting. ✓No breathing problem after 4 hours is a very good sign ✓Just local care and observation are enough in most cases.
Next Steps
antihistaminics for 3 day OD at night
Health Tips
✓Delayed allergic reactions can occur up to 24 hours to 36 hours ✓Even if you are fine now, watch for these late signs: Sudden itching all over body Swelling of lips, tongue, eyelids Dizziness or fainting
