I have a bee sting and the swelling wont go down?

';I am not a physician and am unable to diagnose';. Considering the limited information I will do my best. The general home remedies for bee stings are cold packs to the affected site and if not allergic, over the counter benadryl either in topical form or taken orally via tablets or liquid. Follow package instructions. Generally the effects from a sting are worst in the first 12-24 hours. However, after that the symptoms should appear to be improving. From the information you provided, it doesn't appear that this is happening. It is probably time to make an appointment with your local care provider (physician or urgent care). Anytime you sustain a break in your skin and it compromises the integrity you are at risk for infection. On another note, some patients just don't heal well from insect bites and bee stings. Infection symptoms can include redness, swelling, pus or drainage, red streaking, continued pain, fever, etc. You don't have to experience all of the symptoms to have an infection. You mentioned redness and swelling, and now having lasted more than 24 hrs. You can still start good home care but I would recommend an evaluation. Hope this helps. Good luck.I have a bee sting and the swelling wont go down?
Take a dose of benadryl and rub some cortisone on it. If that doesn't show any improvement in the next 36 hours, call your doctor for a prescription for a cream called Bactriban. It is specifically designed for infected insect bites and stings.
Hi, there. Sorry to hear about the pain and swelling. It sounds as if you have a mild allergy. The quickest, easiest way to eliminate pain and swelling from a bee sting is to make a paste of baking soda and water. Spread the paste over the sting and all red areas, and let it sit for 10-20 minutes. The baking soda will pull the venom out of the skin and will bring immediate relief. Baking soda will also help extract the stinger from the sting if it's still there. If the stinger is still there, do NOT try to pull it out, as that will only squeeze more venom into the skin. Your body will natural expel the stinger in its own time. Since your sting is a few days old, you may find you need to apply the baking soda paste several times today to get complete relief. I can't promise the redness and swelling will completely disappear, but they will go away enough that you'll find relief. I'd also recommend taking 1000 mg of Vitamin C for the next few days, as it is essential for healing and will help your body fight the sting. I hope you find relief soon! Good luck!
You're probably allergic. Take some Benadryl and go to the Dr. You should start carrying an Epi Pen all the time. If you get stung again, you could have a much much worse reaction. Sorry!
