first you need to make up a really cool story then you need to go to the store buy the benydryl strips which disolve in you mouth in seconds and will be through your system within 15 minutes. Then put your feet up and RELAX!!!

Denise I found this. Maybe it will help. It was for bites.

Relieve pain, itching, and swelling

Apply an ice pack to a bite or sting for 15 to 20 minutes once an hour for the first 6 hours. When not using ice, keep a cool, wet cloth on the bite or sting for up to 6 hours. Always keep a cloth between your skin and the ice pack, and press firmly against all the curves of the affected area. Do not apply ice for longer than 15 to 20 minutes at a time, and do not fall asleep with the ice on your skin.
Elevate the area of the bite or sting to decrease swelling.
Try a nonprescription medicine for the relief of itching, redness, and swelling. Be sure to follow the nonprescription medication precautions.
An antihistamine taken by mouth, such as Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton, may help relieve itching, redness, and swelling. Do not give antihistamines to children younger than 1 year unless directed to do so by your health professional.
A spray of local anesthetic containing benzocaine, such as Solarcaine, may help relieve pain. If your skin reacts to the spray, stop using it.
Hydrocortisone 1% cream or calamine lotion applied to the skin may help relieve itching and redness. Note: Do not use the cream on children younger than age 2 unless your doctor tells you to. Do not use in the rectal or vaginal area in children younger than age 12 unless your doctor tells you to.
After the first 6 hours, if swelling is not present, try applying warmth to the site for comfort.
