Watch the trend
Symptoms should generally move in the right direction after care. Call if pain, swelling, fever, bleeding, or bite discomfort is worsening.

Emergency relief does not always complete the full treatment. Follow-up may be needed to prevent the problem returning.
Keep this nearby
A short checklist for this stage.
- Follow the plan given at your emergency visit
