What Causes Lumps On The Neck After A Bee Sting?

My 17 yr old son was stung by a bee on the back of his neck 2 days ago. He noticed 2 lumps on his neck about 2 inches away from the sting. They are sore when pressed on. I thought they would have gone away but haven t. I m going to call the ped in the morning. Do you think these lumps are from the sting?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

No it has no relation with the sting.

Sting only causes reaction at the sight of the bite. It never causes sting away from the sight.

Secondly it also causes reaction immediately. It never causes reaction after two days.

It is likely to be some kind of infection.

It requires further confirmation to do treatment.

I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here or you can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun
We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.
Thank you,
Dr. Arun Tank
