Question 1

sweat bee sting caused swelling, dizziness, cold sweats and nausea, but no soa. symptoms releaved in 1-2 hours. normal reaction or something worse.

Accepted Answer

Concerning ..: The symptoms you describe are more suggestive of a severe reaction to bee venom and possible bee venom allergy.  Because of the severity of symptoms, I would encourage you to seek input from your primary care doctor, as they may refer you to an allergist for bee venom allergy testing.  Remember, your next reaction to a bee sting could be even worse if this is a true allergy.  Best of luck.

Question 2

approximatey 3 weeks ago i was stung on the inside of my elbow (in the bend) by what appeared to be a sweat bee.  i immediately applied alcohol to the sting.  it has itched in that area every day since the sting and i apply alcohol each time it itches.  yesterday a cluster of 12-15 small bumps appeared in the area of the sting.  i am looking for advice on how to treat the area as it itches also.  thank you.

Question 4

i'm having bee sting symptoms a week later! what do i do?

Accepted Answer

How severe?  where?: Local symptoms from stings can often last several days.  Secondary infections from stings can also occur.  If you are having hives, breathing problems, or severe swelling, you need to see an allergist immediately for treatment.  Once your symptoms resolve, you should be tested to see if you have bee sting allergy.

Question 5

how much time would it take to show symptoms of an allergic reaction of a bee sting?

Accepted Answer

It could start: Immediately after the sting.

Question 6

are flu like symptoms after a bee sting normal. i am allergic. ?

Accepted Answer

Define allergic: If you had the worst form of bee sting allergy you would be in shock within a half hour of the sting. If your body reacts with a flu like syndrome you are having a slow response which is less threatening but worthy of a visit to an allergist for further testing. You may be in the process of developing  such a condition.

he started a fever at 11pm last night. no other symptoms. no redness/swelling at location. calpol not relieving fever.is it possible it is delayed rxn to bee sting? anything else i need to do?

Accepted Answer

: You didn't say what is temperature actually was. High fever is not usually a reaction to a bee sting. Sounds like his symptoms are minimal-no rash, no pain, no difficulty breathing so I wouldn't be concerned.

Question 8

No: But if you are having a severe reaction, this could be part of it.

Question 9

what are the symptoms of bee stings?

Accepted Answer

Usually mild symptms: Most people who are stung by bees just get a red, swollen itchy "bump" in the area...Wshing it right away..Using ice...Applying cortisone cream and taking an antihistamine usually provides relief. 
If you have bee sting allergy you can have more serious symptoms(hives all over, asthma, trouble breathing etc..) if you have these  see an allergist asap.
