I was stung by a bee yesterday on my toe. the toe is still swollen, red, itchy and also numb. anything i can do?

Yes.: The redness and swelling are part of the bodies reaction to the bee sting. The histamine reaction and swelling of the toe are likely the reason for the pressure on the nerve and numbness you are feeling. Ice and elevation will help as well as an antihistamine (ie..OTC Benedryl). Give this a day or two and if it does not begin to resolve follow up with the foot doc.
