Examination now: He must see a physician. The potential ocular allergic reaction may be serious. Rinse the eye with saline and clean water. An ocular antibiotic drop is recommended, please see your doctor.

Bee sting: Recommend prompt medical evaluation since this was the eye ball and not just surrounding tissues.
