Clean the wound with soap and water. Apply cold compresses to the affected area to ease the pain and slow the venom's spread. This is most effective in the first two hours after a sting occurs. Keep the affected limb raised to the level of your heart. Try to stay calm and quiet so that the poison spreads more slowly. Don't consume food or liquids if you're having difficulty swallowing. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen can help ease discomfort. But avoid using narcotic pain medications, which can suppress breathing.
