got stung by a yellow jacket...?
Question:
I took benadryl 10 minutes ago and had drowsiness/dizziness BEFORE taking it.
I called "nurse direct" they basically said that if I don't have facial swelling I am ok.
Should I still be concerned?
Answers:
i am allergic to wasps, bees, etc. I think you will be fine if it has been over 2 hours and no further swelling has occured and no problems breathing. But, I think you may want to be very careful....if you are allergic, each time you are stung will be worse. People who are allergic store the poison in their bodies, so every time you are stung, it is like adding more poison on top of the previous one. Keep Benadryl around always. If you ever feel shortness of breath and have severe swelling, get straight to the ER.

yu will be fine. yu are probably just fighting his venom
I have the same problem.
I always take some Excedrin and take a little nap for about 1 hour no more then that because if your not feeling any better by then, then I would go to the hospital and see what they have to say about it,ok.
It work's for me every time.
Good luck.

just give up and kill yourself now it's to much misery to live with if the swelling gets worse and you start having trouble breatheing
