Stung - what else can I do?

On holiday with DP in Cyprus and we were out on a buggy and this thing flew in (looked a bit like a beetle) DP said "whoah, what the fuck was that?" Then about 10 seconds later I felt a sharp pain my back, I put my hand down my top and pulled the winged bastard out and he stung me in the hand, too.

It's ridiculously painful. I have no idea what it was.

I've washed the stings, taken anti-histamines, paracetamol, ibuprofen and put hydrocortisone cream on and it is still ridiculously painful. The pain is radiating all across my back and down to my elbows.

Is there anything else I can do? I have no idea what stung me.

I think you need to find a medical Center ASAP.

Did you get a photo? How did it look?

Thankfully there was a doctor and nurse in one of the other buggy's and they took a look and said I should be ok. Just take the antihistamines regularly.

I've not known pain like it though. Would love to know what the hell stung me.
