Problem: Article: Run the sting under cold water, or place ice or an ice pack on the area. Wrap the ice in a towel first instead of putting it directly on your skin. Keep this on for 20 minutes.  Reapply the ice later if the area gets sore again. While using home remedies, continue to assess the size of the sting. Often, stings will grow into larger areas. You can gauge the size of the sting by marking it with a pen. If the redness continues to spread, seek medical help. If you were stung on the arm or leg, elevate it. Prop your foot up on pillows to be above the level of your heart. Rest your arm on something above your heart. This can improve pain and swelling. Mix baking soda with water, apply the paste, and let it dry. This may pull out the venom if applied quickly and help relieve pain and swelling. Put a tablespoon of baking soda in a bowl and add enough water to turn it into a thick paste. You can also try making a paste out of baking soda, vinegar, and meat tenderizer and applying it to the sting. Add enough vinegar to a tablespoon of baking soda to make a paste, and add in a pinch of meat tenderizer. Dab some honey onto the sting with your fingers or a cotton ball. Honey has traditionally been used for its antiseptic qualities. Use honey that is as pure as possible, preferably 100% honey without preservatives, for the best effect. Apply a dab of toothpaste to the sore area. It may feel like tingling, which can improve the itchiness of the sting. Apply it as often as you want to. Natural toothpaste may work better than regular toothpaste, but give either a try. Wet a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar and hold it against the sting. It may burn momentarily, but then may provide some pain relief.
Summary: Apply cold to the area. Elevate your arm or leg. Make a baking soda paste. Apply honey to the sting. Put toothpaste on the sting. Dab on apple cider vinegar.

Problem: Article: Considered the most effective treatment, you must have a prescription to take these drugs. Treatment usually lasts three months and your doctor may also prescribe a topical cream or ointment. You may also need to take periodic blood tests to monitor how your body is responding to the drugs.  Oral antifungal drugs work by replacing the infected nail with a new, healthy nail. You won't see results until the nail is completely regrown, which may take over four months.  These drugs can sometimes have severe side effects and are not recommended if you have liver disease or congestive heart failure. This remedy requires you to paint the infected nails and the surrounding skin once daily. At the end of the week, you remove the layers of polish with alcohol and begin the process over. This method can take up to a year to keep the infection at bay. Antifungal creams may be prescribed alone or in conjunction with another treatment, like oral drugs. To help the cream penetrate your nail, try thinning your nails first. You can either soak them in water or treat them overnight with a urea cream. Depending on the severity of the infection, your doctor may recommend surgically removing the nail. This allows topical treatments to be applied directly to your skin and to the new nail as it grows back.  If the infection is extremely painful or does not respond to treatment, your doctor may decide to permanently remove the nail. It may take as long as a year for your nail to grow back.
Summary: Try an oral antifungal drug. Ask about medicated nail polish. Use prescription creams or lotions. Remove the infected nail.

Problem: Article: Whether you caught them yourself or you're buying them from a fish market, make sure the fish you want to grill have clear eyes and undamaged skin. Grilled whole fish should be fresh, not frozen, for best results.  If you're buying the catfish from a fish market, have the fishmonger clean and skin the fish for you. If you caught your own fish, you'll need to clean and  skin it on your own. For whole grilled catfish, seasoning plays more than one role. Seasoning the inside and the outside of the catfish is meant to both flavor the meat and keep it moist while it grills. Mix up the following ingredients (double if you're grilling two catfish):  1 tablespoon melted butter 1 tablespoon lemon juice Salt and pepper Coat the inside cavity of the fish with the mixture, and rub it into the outside as well. Make sure every part of the fish is coated so it won't dry out as it cooks. Heat your outdoor grill to medium high (about 375°F to 425°F). Use a paper towel soaked in cooking oil to coat the metal grill rack with oil, so the delicate flesh of the fish won't stick. Let the grill heat completely before you start cooking the fish. When you're cooking a whole fish, it's important to cook it low and slow. Otherwise, you'll end up with a fish that's burned on the outside and raw on the inside. Make sure the grill never gets too hot while you cook. Instead of placing it directly over the hottest coals, place it on a part of the grill that doesn't get direct heat. This will prevent the fish from burning. The larger the fish, the longer it will need to cook. It's ready to flip when the underside of the flesh is firm with a set of dark grill marks. The fish is ready to eat when the flesh easily flakes apart when poked with a fork. It should be completely opaque and hot through to the middle.
Summary: Choose fresh, whole catfish. Make a seasoning mixture. Season the inside and outside of the fish. Heat your grill or grill pan. Lay the fish on the grill. Cook it for seven to ten minutes on the first side. Flip the fish and cook for another seven to ten minutes.
