Bee Sting: Usually the itching & swelling have resolved within this time frame. Am concerned that it is swollen this long out and that pain is increasing. You may have a secondary infection. Would recommend medical assessment.

If those symptoms: are progressing after 7 days, you may have developed cellulitis(an infection). Please seek medical attention, you may need antibiotics.
