While playing in a park, a child was stung by a wasp. Some elders suggested applying the paste of baking soda and other lemon juice as the remedy. Which remedy do you think is appropriate and why?

Soln:

Wasp releases a liquid substance into the body when its stings. This liquid will be acidic in nature hence baking soda should be applied as a remedy, and adding lemon juice will increase the pain and redness.
