Suggest Treatment For Swollen Head After Insect Bite

My 9 yr old daughter got stung by a bumble bee 3 1/2 hrs. ago, in the middle of her forehead just above her eyes. She is swelled and hs trown up repeatedly for the past 2 hours. We gave her 2 tsp. of benedryl liquid 10 minutes after her sting occured. I also gave her Motrin, but she has trwon it up twice. She keeps complaining of a terrible stomach ache and she dry heaves about every 20 minutes. What should we do?

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain it seems like a severe allergic reaction with the bee sting and all the symptoms are due to it..
You should consult an Emergency room and get her evaluated and if required they can give injectable anti-allergics for relief along with medications to reduce vomiting.
You can also do cold compresses over the sting site, give her plenty of fluids and sufficient rest..
Continue giving benadryl and motrin till you see a doctor..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
