Suggest Treatment For Swollen Hands After Being Bitten By Bees

my husband 56 years old does a lot of planting and yard work. He found a swarm of bees 2 weeks ago and the back of his hand swelled up. It has now settled down, last night most of his fingers got really swollen and very painful. This is all on the same hand.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms of your husband seem to be related to the bees bite. I suggest to do a steroid injection to relieve the swelling of the fingers. I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
