[|AI|]  Hi welcome to ChatDoctorIn most scorpion stings of adults, treatment is simply supportive and can be done at home. Wash the sting with soap and water and remove all jewelry because swelling of tissue may impede the circulation if it is not allowed to expand (for example, a sting on a finger that has a ring surrounding it). Apply cool compresses, usually 10 minutes on and ten minutes off of the site of the sting. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 1-2 tablets every 4 hours may be given to relieve pain (usually not to exceed 3g per 24 hours). Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) because they may contribute to other problems. Antibiotics are not helpful unless the sting area become secondarily infected. Do not cut into the wound or apply suction.please DON'T DO ANY TREATMENT AT HOME GO TO The NEAREST MEDICAL Center AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
