Careful observation: Fortunately, the vast majority of people are not allergic to insect stings. Immediate management of a sting, even in a baby, includes placement of an ice pack on the area and tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain. If a stinger remains, don't try to pull it out. Careful scraping along the skin with a rigid card or otherwise will slowly remove it. If a patient develops hives, Benadryl is the first medication to give.

Depends: Depending on the age you could give benadryl (diphenhydramine). Area should be kept clean and dry. Ice numbs the area.

Cold compresses: to the area, you can put a little over the counter hyrocortisone dream on it, If it swells up more call your doctor, If hives or trouble breathing call 911.
