Andrew vs the Scorpion

Last week Andrew got bit by a baby scorpion. His whole arm turned bright red and traveled all the way up to his shoulder. I called my pediatric doctor who had me call poison control.
So here's what you do if it ever happens:
Wash off area with soap and warm water.
Don't put ice on it. (I did and poison control told me not to. Oops)
Put a cool wet washcloth on it.
Give Motrin and Tylenol alternating every 2 hours.
Other than that there is not much else. She said it wasn't serious but hurts.
