I got stung by a bee on monday but it still hurts really bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry, I don't know: How many days ago that was. Hopefully the stinger was already removed ; you cleaned the area with soap ; water. Can try tylenol, (acetaminophen) Aspirin or Motrin for pain or Benadryl for swelling. Make paste of 2 parts baking soda ; 1 part water ; apply. Need tetanus shot every 10 years.
