What's a simple, cheap treatment for my bee stings?

Bee Stings: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will help with itching. And some people suggest making a paste of baking soda and meat tenderizer, and applying it to the site.

Cold compress: Unless you are unusually sensitive to the bee venom (bee-sting allergy), cold compress over the sting site is all you need to do. Shoul you experience breathing difficulty or hives, immediate medical attention should be sought.

Yes: Usually no treatment is needed. If red or irritated, or pain. You may use advil or tylenol (acetaminophen). If itchy, you could try some hydrocortisone.
