Hello there. I can understand your concern. Firstly get a insurance as soon as possible. What if you had a severe reaction to the wasp sting? Would you still be posting here for solutions or you would have gone to a doctor near you? Tab. Levocetrizine can be taken Twice a day and tab. Paracetamol twice a day for two days. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
