A member asked:
Should you elevate a swollen leg from bee sting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen after bee st: The swelling is due to histamine release and influx of fluid which is going to take time to resolve. Having said that, if it feels better elevated there is no reason it can't be elevated.
