Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Foot Due To A Bee Sting.
I got stung by a bee about 34 hours ago, on my toe. My toes are swollen, the bottom of my foot is swollen, and the top of my foot is swollen all the way to my ankle now. I can't even move my toes. When will it quit swelling, and should I see a doctor. I've been taking benadryl but it doesn't seem to do anything.

hi,
bee sting can produce severe local inflammation, and rarely can be fatal due to sudden anaphylaxes. In your case, if swelling progresses upto anke, you may develop comprtmental syndrome which can be trouble some.
It is suggested to make a visit to a surgeon and if needed, incision and pressure release may be done.
HOPE THIS HELPED.
