Do nothing: If the child is not in pain, it will resolve with time.

Bee sting: First, remove the stinger (if present) by scraping gently with a fingernail or by using tweezers. Ice the area. If any wheezing or trouble breathing, he needs er immediately! if breathing is okay, clean area with soap and cold water. If you have homeopathic apis 30c, give a dose each 10-15 min x 2-3. Calamine lotion or mixture of baking soda and water, for itching later.
