Can anyone tell us what do for my husband's swollen finger? It has puffed up from an insect bite, but we can't actually see where the bite was (no stinger, etc...)

try benadryl creme and pills and if that doesn't you should call the doctor

First of all if your husband has any rings on get them off pronto and then if it were me(I'm in the UK) I would give NHS Direct a call and see what they have to say, its probably nothing but its best to air on the side of caution

it could have been wasp bite. and they can swell up if it does would be good to see doc cause if its infected it will help with meds he can give you. it even could be spider bite not sure but that could help also. dont' take chances.

try it with cold or hot compress... dont expect it to be gone immediately after doing these. it'll probably gone within a week... just remember ... do not scratch it.. it will grow bigger... i know cause i had that b4... my pinky grew langer than may thumb
