Centipede bites. Suggest the treatment.

Greetings from Dr. Sanjeet!! The centipede bite isn’t fatal to human beings, provided if we both are referring to the small centipedes which are found in houses, red in colour and fast in their movements. With this assumption, I can assure you the best and suggest to irrigate the site to prevent infection, and if swelling or burning sensation, you can apply ice-cold water to feel better. Then observe the affected portion, if nothing much happens, sleep peacefully. We humans can develop and improve our immunity with all such kinds of bites/antigens. Tomorrow morning, if your last tetanus shot is taken before 5 years, then you can take one. More than anything else, be positive and stay calm. This is testing time. We can pray and hope for better days sooner. Get well soon. May god bless you.

Tetanus booster, if last one is taken before 5 years.

Stay calm and be positive, your brother’s body and mind would be able to fight out such antigens. We can trust our body’s capabilities.
