<human>: My grandson (3) has an apparent inspect bite on his hand. Happened yesterday. Today it is swollen, red and is going into his wrist and starting to go up arm. No fever. Does not seem to bother him. Bothers his Mom. She gave him Cetrizine and is not working. We did a Baking soda paste. What else can we do? We think it may be a wasp sting.
