Seayork2002 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Ds was stung, dh took him to the lifeguard station said heat pack or hot shower as hot as you can so he went to the shower.It calmed down a bit now we are driving home and it is still stinging, we are going to stop so I can get a heat pack from the shop.Is there anything else we can do?He is not screaming pain but he says it hurts a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitmincepies Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The heat is meant to inactive the toxin iirc. You can give him panadol and nurofen for the pain, and distract him with something engrossing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeritasVinumArte Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I make sure I have some antihistamine on hand too, as I get secondary hives from bluebottle stings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
