What Causes Swelling On The Face After A Bee Sting?

My son is seven years old, very healthy and active. 10 days ago he was stung by a bee on his forehead, havent thought twice about it until this AM when he woke up with his face extremely swollen, the skin of his joint very warm and swollen as well and red welts on his skin. Last night where he had been stung was swollen after taking off his football helmet. 2 days ago before bed he woke up with red bumps inside his skin on the arch of his feet. Last night very restless and his ankle was very itchy. The only thing he is complaining about is being tired and not very hungry. How likely is it that this is RA?

Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice. It may be due to allergic reactions to bee sting.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

In case of itching you can tab loratidine.

Apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.

Watch for symptoms like breathing difficulty, severe itching than you may require urgent medical care

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