Suggest Treatment For Bee Sting In A Kid
My 3 yr old child was stung by a wasp/bee this morning (i didn't see it) and suddenly felt unwell with a fever. No breathing problems or any suggestion of allergic reaction. She has a slight local reaction around the sting. I am just wondering if this is usual? She is normally fit and well.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fever is part of the body's inflammatory response so it can occur as a result of the body reacting to the bee sting.
The use of an anti histamine would help reduce the reaction. An anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen or cataflam would help reduce any discomfort that she experiences.
I hope this helps
