what over the counter product helps wasp sting?
I swell until I go get a shot from the Dr. I dont want to go to the Dr so what can I use to make the swelling stop? Im on day 3 after being stung and it just keeps getting bigger. I tried diphenhtdramine and it did nothing. My hand is much bigger than it was yesterday.
I am assuming wasp. I have wasps and yellow jackets in my garage. I didnt see it when it got me and it didnt leave its stinger in my hand. Wasps dont loose their stinger, yellow jackets do.....
Any suggestions? Red swollen and hot to the touch. This morning (day 3) it has a few little blisters on and near the hole.

You are describing cellulitis which you got from the break in the skin from the wasp sting. You may need antibiotics so you need to see your doctor. You are not having a normal reaction to a sting.
Try applying a cold compress (bag of frozen peas) to your hand and see if that helps to reduce the swelling.
