How To Treat Bee Sting?
I was stung by a bee on the side of my big toe. After a couple of days the area around my toe and top of my foot turned pink with no pain. The area is now purple and it feels bruised when i put pressure on the area and itches a little bit, but still no general pain.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The persisting swelling and itching is due to the inflammatory response to the bee sting.
The use of anti inflammatory pain killers and anti histamines would be appropriate till you notice improvement.
Examples of the pain killers are: naproxen, cataflam, ibuprofen
I hope this helps
