How To Treat Swelling And Itching Sensation On Ankle And Waist Caused Due To Bee Sting?
I am 70 years old woman. I got bee sting yesterday on my finger, back of my ankle and my side near waist line. My skin of ankle and waist are swollen about 2 inches and itches. About 10 years ago I had bee sting on my finger and in 3 days my entire arm was swollen and doctor told me I had cellulitis and he gave me high doses steroid pills . What should do now?

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Don't worry much. Stay calm.
antiallergic tablets like cetrizine can help you if swelling is less but you may require steroids if heavy swelling like in the past. also add paracetamol if fever and pain.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
