Wasp Sting to Foot

Putting DD to bed and trod on a wasp. Barefoot.

Bloody thing got caught in the little arc where the toes meet the ball of your foot. Stung me at least once possibly twice.

I am in absolute agony.

I am also 37 weeks pregnant so can't effing take anything.

I've had two paracetamol and iced it with my foot up for the last thirty mins and still getting pain at varying levels of utter bloody agony through to discomfort.

What the hell can I do to make this ease up?!
I have to go to work tomorrow for my final day before mat leave. So much to do. Plus the poor cat got put to sleep today so all in all it's been bloody horrible.
That's not wasp related but I'm having a shite day.

Can you take antihistamines. I got stung several times recently and they helped.

You can take some antihistamines while pregnant - I just can’t remember which ones!!

I got stung of a wasp under my arm. I sprayed some after bite on it. It bothered me for two weeks. I've never had a wasp sting as bad. I think maybe it was the area. I found cold things helped. Make sure the stinger is out.
