Warm compress: Unless you're allergic to beestings, or you've been stung many many times, this is basically just a minor annoyance. Apply some warm compresses, keep the area clean to prevent infections, and see your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Cold compress: A cold compress would help reduce swelling and pain. An oral antihistamine like diphephenhydramine (benadryl (diphenhydramine) and others), or Loratadine (claritin and others), or Cetirizine (zyrtec and others), or fexofenadine (allegra and others), can help with swelling and redness and itching. Pain medication, especially anti-inflammatory meds like Ibuprofen and naproxen, can help with pain.
