Question 1

how long will throat swelling remain after bee sting?

Accepted Answer

There should be none: Ideally there should be no throat swelling. Anaphylactic shock can be thought of as a triad of symptoms including hives, respiratory difficulty (excessive throat swelling) and low blood pressure. The presence of one or two of these is an anaphylactoid reaction. Either should be evaluated by a doctor. Carrying an epi-pen and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) might be in order.  Throat swelling can become dangerous quickly.

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.

Stye: It sounds like a stye. Possibly a chalazion. Not anything dangerous and not because of a spider bite. Warm compresses, not just warm towel but use a potato in the microwave, wrap with wet towel. 20 minutes on.

Question 6

can you tell me are bee stings supposed to have a bump after and itch?

Accepted Answer

Common: It is very common to experience local swelling and itching after a bee sting. It can also hurt since the venom from bee stings is very irritating. If you develop hives all over, trouble breathing or swallowing or feel faint go to the ER for immediTe treatment. Anyone with a history of a systemic reaction should see an allergist for evaluation.

Question 7

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.

Question 8

very painful lump on neck after dying hair. how do i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 9

what to do about a painless hard lump on neck?

Accepted Answer

Different options: The neck has a lot of things in it both in the skin and below it.  Sweat glands, hair follicles and skin cysts as well as lymph nodes, fatty tissue, vessels, tendons and other things.  Is the lump growing, inflamed, painful, painless, draining, recurrent or constant, moveable or fixed...?  Each of these (and many more) will provide your doc the answers as to what it is and what needs to be done.
