Antiallergic medications, warm compression

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Bee stings usually elicit an allergic reaction.

I suggest you to take anti allergic medication like cetrizine. This will prevent ill effects of the allergy.

Also do give warm compressions for early removal of bee venom fro the site.

Hope, I answered your query.

Regards,
