Initial treatment: for a bee sting is ICE, Benadryl, and Motrin. Your daughter is old enough to receive these medications. The dosages can be found on the bottle. If the reaction is worrying you however, its fine to have a physician take a look at an urgent care or ER if symptoms seem to be throughout her body in any way.
