Bee sting: What a horrible spot to get stung. Take a dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and be checked as your tongue is part of your airway. All the best.

Consult Physician: You may need immediate attention. Your physician may put you on antihistamine or cortisone to prevent severe allergic reaction. Do not take it easy.
