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

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.

Thanks so far promising extra ps4 time and icecream for dessert when we get home is 'helping with the pain' we have be told

 

That sounds good! Poor thing, it would be really painful.

I make sure I have some antihistamine on hand too, as I get secondary hives from bluebottle stings.

 

Thanks i got some from the pharmacy, he is feeling better as he is milking it and talking about taking a photo to show his friends


When he stops going on about we will worry alot then.


Dh said it was worse for me than it was for ds (well my face was when they told me he said)
