Hi, Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Its seem you are too much worried about bee sting. Let me assure you not to be afraid, but on the other side i must say it will take some time to heal. Bee sting generally causes an inflammatory reaction in the body which causes swelling, redness and pain.
Continue your prescribed medication. Or you can use avil instead of that. be advised that such antiallergic medication has got sleeping tendencies and can make you sleep. Use paracetamol 1 tab twice daily to relieve pain.
Do not massage that place of bee sting. You can use leaves of grape fruit plant and warm it a little so it doesn't hurt you and put that leaves on the site of bee sting. That will relieve some pain.

HOPE I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT IF YOU STILL HAVE QUERIES. PLEASE RATE THE ANSWER AS YOU LEAVE.

WISH YOU BEST OF HEALTH!
