What does it mean when a bee sting is swollen and blistered?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Reaction: It may mean you have an allergy to bees or it could mean it is getting infected. Try an oral antihistamine and if not better that day, go see your doctor.

Common: You can rub in cortisone. Prescription cortisones are more potent, much more effective, than otc.
