Wasp stings that are not extensive usually take about 5-8 days for the swelling to go down. If the swelling is more severe, it usually takes about 7-14 days to go down, which may vary with the individual’s body type and the extent of the sting.
If the patient is stung by a wasp in a small area, with only slight edema or a single location of the sting, and the patient’s own immune system is high, as well as cooperating with the doctor’s treatment, it usually takes about 5-8 days for the local swelling to go away.
If the patient is stung in multiple places all over the body and the swelling is more serious, or if the patient has some complications, it may take about 7-14 days for the swelling to gradually subside, and in serious cases, the swelling may last longer to gradually return to normal.
When a patient is stung by a wasp, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions.
