Gat a wasp sting yesterday in the web of my hand betweeen thumb and
forefinger. Minor pain, nothing else. This am woke up with swelling
on back of hand to where the veins and arteies are not visible,.
redness, and somewhat reduced ability to curl fingers due to the
swelling. Too early for dr office to be open. Any home remedys?

I think you might want to see a doctor ASAP. If it is swollen that much
There may be more going on than a simple prick and some wasp venom. If the
stinger is still in there, it might have started an infection that will
need to be cleaned out. In the meantime the antihistamine and anti-
inflammatory suggested by Stormy are a good start.
