Question 2

Accepted Answer

Every 6 hours: The timing for Ibuprofen is every six hours as needed. However, this will help with pain and somewhat with the inflammation, if thee is still a lot of swelling or itching from the bite, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may be a good additional medication to try. Cool compresses are also helpful.

Question 3

i have been getting severe cramps back of thighs, leg falling asleep when sitting for a little while along with foot swelling ony left leg?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with your MD: All of these symptoms may be local musculo-skeletal problems but you need to talk to your doctor.  Cramps could be an electrolyte disorder.  One sided swelling could be venous insufficiency but it could be phlebitis.  The leg falling asleep is most likely a compression of a nerve while you are asleep.  However, you have a number of leg questions  that requires someone seeing you personally.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Bee sting: Typically, with most bee stings, one will notice localized redness and swelling to the affected site. Oral benadryl, (diphenhydramine) ice and/or a topical 'anti-itch' ointment should help symptoms. Should one experience any throat or facial swelling with difficulty getting a full-breath, go to emergency care. With redness staying local, antibiotics are not needed. Your doc should be  consulted with any change.
