Insect stings
Disease Information
Treatment & Care
Treatments vary based on your child’s age, health and medical history, the extent of your child’s disease, and his tolerance for specific medications, procedures and therapies.
- If your child is stung, immediately remove the stinger and scrape over the area with a fingernail
- Do NOT squeeze the area, as that may force the venom into the body.
- Your physician may prescribe an emergency kit with epinephrine to keep on hand in case of future episodes.
