Got stung by a bee seven days ago remove the stinger no symptoms at 11 the typical burning sharp pain sensation. seven days later i have some swelling on my finger at the side of the sting plus a lot of itching. took some benadryl to relieve the itch?

It is quite unusual if the current finger's symptoms are related to the bee sting one week ago. Per my knowledge, there is no such delayed allergic reaction. You can apply local ice pack for swelling and itching in the next 24 hours. If symptoms get worse, you can see your doctor.
