Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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.

a bump on back of his head and dr said it felt like a normal cyst at his 2 year appt last month.he came down under the weather he had fever for a few days and then got 4 bee stings to head now notice 4 moveable pea sized lumps back of lower head?

Accepted Answer

: The new bumps are likely normal lymph nodes that have reacted to the bee stings or fever. Lymph nodes process body serum removing infectious or other debris from serum before returning it to the bloodstream. They normally enlarge for a few weeks before returning to smaller size. They are often found in the head or neck where there is minimal fat to cover them.
