How long do bee stings stay swelled up for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several days: My favorite treatment for a bee sting is a slice of onion rubbed on the sting...(not one at the eye). It neutralizes the sting and decreases swelling. Also homeopathic apis will decrease the swelling and help prevent itching.
