Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Wasp bite causes local symptoms on the site of sting like redness, burning sensation, itching and pain. Besides local symptoms, it can also cause systemic symptoms like fever, malaise, etc. The symptoms of wasp bite are predominantly due to release of chemical mediators from inflammatory cells. The treatment is directed to inhibit the release of these chemical mediators and prevent the effect of the chemical mediators. Anti-histaminic is a group of Chat Doctor. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of medication. Thank you.
