My nephew got stung by a bee on his left ear what would be of help?

Simple Care: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Dressings and ointments are of no value there. Avoid further trauma to the area and let nature take it's course. Motrin/advil will help.
