Envenomation treatment

Envenomation treatment involves quickly reducing the effects of venom from bites or stings. First, keep the person calm and immobile to slow venom spread. Remove any tight clothing or jewelry near the bite area. Clean the wound with soap and water, and apply a cold pack to reduce pain and swelling. Seek urgent medical care, where healthcare providers may give antivenom, a special medicine that neutralizes venom. They might also provide pain relief and monitor for allergic reactions. Prompt action improves recovery chances and minimizes complications.
