I'm still in severe pain 8 hrs after the initial bite.
I don't understand why the pain is so severe when I've been stung by yellow jackets (similar to a bee) in the past and it never hurt this long or this bad before.
Thanks for follow up.
Looking at the history of having stones in the kidney it is always better to get investigated to confirm the the same.The pain due to kidney stone cannot be similar at all the times it depends upon degree of obstruction it causing to urine flow (Hydronephrosis) which can be confirmed only on Ultrasound scanning.
Please take anti histamine drugs like cetrizine twice daily if you suspect it to be due to sting.
Thanks and Regards.
