A member asked:
Should i go to urgent care for bee sting? it has 20 hrs and it is still swollen . the pain is replaced with extreme itchiness
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This sounds like a: very normal reaction to bee sting. If the area becomes hot or appears to be infected then seek medical care. In the meantime an antihistamine like benedryl and cool compresses will probably help.
