Question 1

is bee sting on tongue dangerous?

Accepted Answer

It Can Be: A bee sting anywhere on the body can cause pain and swelling. Especially in oral tissues (like the tongue), the swelling can be quite extensive. You can imagine what happens next...If the swelling is extreme, it can completely close off your airway and make it impossible to breathe. Obviously, that would be a major problem. For people who are allergic, this scenario is even more likely.

Question 2

how to treat pain from bee sting on tongue?

Accepted Answer

Three things-: Otc pain medication such as advil, motrin, aleve (naproxen) or what you normally take for a headache, suck on ice chips, and time. There is nothing else you can do. If your tongue is swollen, taking  benedryl may help as well.

Question 3

what makes my head sting when i touch it with my finger? nothing stings until i put my fingers on my head and reminds me of a bee sting.

Accepted Answer

Head or face? Many..: ..possibilties but if ur symptoms involve the face, it is similar to a neurological problem called trigeminal neuralgia. (Trigeminal nerve covers the face). See a neurologist for a diagnosis &amp; treatment. Other possibilities include shingles / viral infection affecting nerve, brain &amp; spinal cord problems, nerve impingement, skin conditions, &amp; I suppose vascular problems. But TTYD &amp; get a diagnosis.

Question 5

honey bee sting on my tongue when i was child that time i didn't care but now in that area it created one boblu like pimple so what to do ?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: No reason to believe that a bubble like lesion on the tongue is related to the prior bee sting.  The lesion should resolve within 5-10 days.  If not, a physician can examine it. Good luck!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Scalp lesion: This may be an infection e.g. A staph infection.  You need medical attention.  See your doctor for examination. Meanwhile use a medication neosporin oint  on area three times per day until you can be seen, as soon as possible.  Go to walk in clinic if you cannot see your doctor.

Question 7

bee sting on tongue. happened 6 hours ago. only put ice on it. for a short minute. but hurts like a canker sore but worse. and swollen. help?

Accepted Answer

Bee sting: What a horrible spot to get stung. Take a dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and be checked as your tongue is part of your airway. All the best.

Question 8

how long does swelling take to go down after a bee stings your lip?

Accepted Answer

Bee sting: The effects of the bee sting should resolve in about 48 hours on your lip. I would recommend taking loratidine or cetirizine for 5 days once daily.

Question 9

i received 5 bee stings in head area.  my left eye continues to swell at night 6 days later.  what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See doctor?: If the eye swelling is obscuring your vision or bothersome to you cosmetically, ask your doctor for a Rx (steroid). Have you tried antihistamine yet? If not, it 's worth a try.   If the stings are truly from the bees, i would expect the problem to resolve in another week. The unusual feature is that the lid only swells at night and thus there may be possibly another cause for it.

Question 10

4 year old said bee bit her on back of head. no prior knowledge of bee stings. result, bump on the back of her head, 2inch in diameter. small red dot?

Accepted Answer

Typically just obser: You need to make sure she doesn't have a severe allergic reaction ( facial swelling, difficulty breathing, hives). If this happens, call 911. Otherwise you just treat with Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and topical hydrocortisone if it is itchy. If it starts to look infected, she also would need to be seen.
