HELP! How do I reduce oedema from insect bite please...

[brockenspectre]

Thank you, all of you, for your replies here and in proon-chat. I am happy to say that waking this morning I found my hand/wrist almost back to normal. Still a slight puffiness and the "weal" of the bite/sting is still raised and ugly looking but ::gives sigh of relief:: I am on my way back to normal (well my normal heheheh ).

Before going to bed last night I put some propolis on the sting - propolis is the bee antiseptic you gargle with (in juice) to stop a sore throat? and for some reason as I was getting ready for bed the idea of using it popped into my head. Not sure if that helped or time itself was the healer (it IS three days since the sting).

Thanks again!
