Fire ant stings?

Question:

What's the best way to take care of a child who has been stung about 50 times by a nest of fire ants?

Answers:
take arm and hammer baking soda, and pour it on a wet paper towel, hold the paper towel to the area for a ond period of time, it will take away the sting and it will help the inflamation go down.
This is a tried and true method, because when i was 8 i got stung 47 times by a swarm of yellow jackets that flew up my sweat pants, when i stepped on there nest.
Also dumping a couple boxes in a bath and then letting your child take a bath in nice warm water helps to.
Good luck

If this doesnt help please take your child to the doctors, because there could be an allergic reation to the stings!
