Suggest Treatment For Swelling On The Leg Caused By A Bee Sting
Last Sunday, I was stung by 4 bees which came out of a ground nest. Had nothing to put on it as I was camping. Got home Monday afternoon, put a benadryl creme on the stings, elevated my foot (the worst of the stings) and placed ice on it. Also got some benadryl tabs (2 every 4 - 5) Still is badly swollen. what can I do now?

Hello,
It may be due to allergic reactions.
For that you can take tablet prednisone after consultation.
You can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
In case of itching you can take tablet loratidine.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Watch for symptoms like breathing difficulty, severe rashes and itching
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
