What Causes Swollen, Itchy,burning Sensation After Subsided Symptoms Of Bee Bite?

I was stung by a bee one week ago. The symtoms seem to have subsided after two days. After that thigs have been getting worse. The site (middle finger on the right hand) is now more swollen and ichy, I also have a burning sensation on the finger. There are also a few hives on my finger. Some pain going up my hand. Could the site be infected?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some bacterial infection due to itching over the part.
Take antihistamine like Benadryl or Cetrizine for itching.
Apply triple action cream after cleaning.
If infection is more, you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
