A member asked:

I got stung by a bee behind my ear a week ago. the lymph node behind my ear has been swollen and painful. i think i can feel further lymph nodes with slight swelling as well but not painful. been taking benadryl. what should i do? normal reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If it is a reactive lymph node, it would slowly go down by itself like in: 'time allows healing' it does take weeks. Benadryl would not help; may only make you groggy or sleepy. The effect of benadryl on reaction is not on cellular reaction.
