Cp got stung yesterday, we though we had the sting out. Its 5.30am, he is crying, its swolen & red, he says it hurts. I am on hold for a 24 hr nurse on line.
Any ideas.
-
He is not allergic is he hally? Seems like he is having a reaction as my kids have both been stung by bees and once the stinger is out it settles down.. Not straight away but certainly isnt hurting enough for them to cry or be in pain.. Do you have any kind of insect cream for bites???
I wouldnt panic but would be taking him to the hospital or a gp straight away..
Poor cp and poor h

Hally here is a site for whats normal for a bee sting
http://ask.metafilter.com/127798/Whats-normal-for-a-bee-sting (http://ask.metafilter.com/127798/Whats-normal-for-a-bee-sting)
Says he is having a reaction but not allergic like as in will Not go into shock or anything..
They say to take an antihistamine basically..
Has he ever been bitten before.. I would see a gp about it as some ppls reactions get worse each time they get bitten.. Something to watch out for.. Hope he is ok.. Poor little man..

DH is talking now, he needs an ice pack, panadol & stingose.
The first time I didnt pack stingose.
Pharmacy open in 2.5 hrs.
Cp lying in bed next to me, with foot elevated. Dh just making an ice pack.
Oh the joys & its dh birthday.
Thans for the link.
-
You can also ice it to help with the swelling..
-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_sting
Bicarbonate of soda for bees,
Vinegar for wasps.
Hope you get what you need it will subside and feel better soon.
-
Gosh Hally, that's not good - hope CP has settled a bit. Not a good start to your holiday, hopefully it improves from here once you can get to the chemist.
Happy birthday to DH too.
-
Morning girls, I hope CP is feeling a little bit better with the ice pack when you get to the chemist maybe get an antihistamine to keep in your bag just in case. Can you give him some panadol to ease the pain.
-
He is bed eating eggs & ham :) so thats a good sign, dh will have to eat breakfast in bed another day. He is happy eating :)
No childs panadol & no bi carb, of course we have vinegar. The first time ever no medicine. Pharmacr across the road so I thought we were covered.
He should be a lot better when we get him stingose & panadaol.
Thanks for all your help.
H :)

oH dear.
Could you give CP an adult panadol?. Look on the box for the doses. My kids don't have the kids panadol anymore.
Hope he feels better soon.
Wish your DH a happy birthday.

ES, what does your hubby say about that?
Cp has perked up a bit, 1 hr & 10 mins unitl pharmacy open.
-
Oh dear Hally that's not a good start to your holiday. Hoping CP is feeling better and happy birthday to DH. Keep an eye on the chemist they might turn up early xox
-
The shock will be easing too Hally. A first sting is a big shock!
Bald he is eating and perking up, good sign.
The rest of the holiday will be better. :)
-
He seemed fine yesterday, then he started crying this morning.
He seems quite a bit better now, he finished breakfast with chocolate :)
-
You could give him half of adult panadol Hally it won't do him any harm .
Maybe he is allergic as our 2 year old GS was stung by a bed last weekend and stopped crying after the sting was removed.
It was swollen and red but showed no sign of pain.
Hopefully he will be fine soon :)

Hally I can't believe you didn't bring the bicarbonate! ;D
Sounds like the typical breakfast cure worked. All good. ;D

Gert, thought about it, but had to cut back somewhere ;D
-
You make me laugh Hally. Next time you will need a special box for all the pharmaceuticals.

Gert, i have 2, but thought theres no room & pharmacy across the road, cp wasnt meant to have pain after hours ??? :o
Dh at pharmacy now, he has a HUGE list & bank loan application form, lol
Cp asleep, fell asleep when TM started humming :)

;D We used to call that keeping the elephants off Pitt Street . . . ;D It's kind of Murphy's Law - With all that you'll probably have no need of them in the next 12 months . . . ;D

Hally, glad CP is feeling better now :)
It has reminded me of a time many years ago when we were camping at the beach. This boy (about 8 years old) limped into the annexe sat on the floor and said "lady I am not leaving until you fix my foot, I trod on a bee" I pulled the sting out, he was trying not to cry and in those days we had blocks of blue, used in washing clothes. I had put one in the first aid kit. They came in little bags, I wet the bag of blue and told him to sit there with it on his foot. He sat for a few minutes, then said,"its better, I'm going now" that was it. Never saw him again.

Good story Marie.

I take heaps with me away on hols..
Chocolate always works a treat.
Glad CP is ok.
-
I always take too much as well Robyn.
DH just shakes his head but he is not much better. :-))
Always pack medication when going away and have first aid kit with all the essentials in each car.
I don't worry about groceries as only takes a few minutes to buy food when necessary.
We like to eat out most of the time if in a holiday home type of environment but always have breakfast in and at least one nice meal a day out.
I love cooking but not on holidays. Barbeques or simple pasta dishes etc for us :)
-
This is the first trip ever with mo medical kit >:(
Bless, I put the stingose on him, he asked for more, so he has it all over his foot & 1/2 way up his leg, its hysterical, he says it works much better like that ;D
Whatever makes him happy :)
-
Vinegar works well
-
Hally that is horrid. Happy birthday to DH and I hope CP is bearing up. Lots of extra spoiling.
I'm a bit like MF. Take medications and first aid kit and leave food out.
-
Glad cp seems to be better H.. Would speak to the gp about it next visit as its not a 'normal' reaction to a bee sting :)
-
Glad cp is feeling better
-
Marie what a lovely story. Bless him :)
Yes cookie horrible for cp, he did complain it was stinging a little & itchy some of the day. First time no medication & only time we needed it!! Now we have heaps :)
