swelling ring finger after wasp sting

[outinthesticksmummy]

I was stung by a wasp today just after lunch - on my wedding ring finger ......ouch ..hurt like hell , but then got distracted by kids /tea/etc and didn't bother with it , although it was throbbing. HAs now swollen and i have manages to get my engagement ring off , but not my wedding ring - its stuck tight , gonna take some piriton syrup ....(left over from chicken pox days) dh made me take some of his diclofenic - antinflammitory ....what do you reckon ?? wait for swliing to subside ?? or trot down to a & e on a sat morning and get my wedding ring cut off .......really don't want to get it cut

Ice and more piriton.The swelling should subside reasonably quickly,but make sure that the ring isn't cutting of circulation to the finger.If it is really cutting in I would go to a and e to be honest.

aw thanks helly - will reasses in the morning - off to take some more piriton - it does feel pretty tight though
