I recently found that if you get ill at the weekends you will struggle to get hold of your resident doctor even if they are on call. A few weeks ago my girlfriend went on holiday to Ibiza, the quiet side and one day whilst swimming she caught her leg on a Jelly fish, this made her panic at first but luckily the local restaurant was used to this and had some cream to take the pain away. The problem with Jelly fish stings, is the sting seeps into the body and makes the pain worse about a week or two down the line. You can put vinegar on it when it first happens to take the sting out but then you need to scrape the residue off afterwards.  If this doesn’t happen you will getting a scar like swelling and you will need pain killers to help, but as explained to me its like having tooth ache in your sting and it wont go away for weeks, we asked the emergency medical advice line for help and they didn’t have enough knowledge so we got a call from her elusive doctor eventually and he advised simple antihistamines but they failed. The only thing which worked which we found out by accident is salt water as she went to Abersoch 2 weeks later and swam again (I know brave girl) but it cooled it and stopped it hurting.
