A member asked:
My mother was stung by a sweat bee two days ago and her forearm is the size of a baseball. no other symptoms. is this normal?

Bee allergy: Sounds like she is having an allergic local reaction to the bee sting. Antihistamines should help. If she is running a fever or things get worse or don't improve she needs to be seen by a doctor.
