If you are bitten by a centipede at home, you should immediately flush the wound with soapy water, disinfect the wound, apply a local cold compress, and then use medication under the guidance of a doctor. When you are bitten by a centipede at home, you need to flush the wound with plenty of soapy water immediately because the alkaline solution of soapy water can well neutralize the acidic venom in the centipede’s body. After flushing the wound, alcohol or iodophor cotton balls can be used to wipe the wound to avoid infection. Cold compresses are then applied to the wound to help reduce swelling and pain. After that, the patient should seek medical attention and let the doctor choose the appropriate treatment according to the severity of the symptoms. For those with mild symptoms, oral antihistamine drugs, such as loratadine and paracetamol, can be taken as prescribed by the doctor for relief; if anaphylaxis occurs, fluids should be replenished as soon as possible and epinephrine or glucocorticoid drugs, such as hydrocortisone, should be taken for treatment. In conclusion, centipede bites at home should be treated promptly and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Do not let your guard down and cause further aggravation of symptoms.
