After being stung by a wasp, first examine the affected area to determine whether the stinger remains embedded in the skin. If present, carefully remove it using sterile tweezers. Then disinfect the area with iodophor or an appropriate amount of alcohol. Afterward, apply halcinonide solution locally for symptomatic anti-itch treatment. If symptoms do not improve after a period of time, consult a qualified physician at a reputable hospital to prevent further disease progression.
