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

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 4

Accepted Answer

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

Accepted Answer

Immediately after the sting.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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.

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.

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.
