Will tylenol (acetaminophen) help swelling of a bee sting?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: May provide pain relief but Motrin or adnil- non steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines- will reduce the inflammation and secondary swelling from sting. Ice will help and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will help itching.

No - Remove stinger : By scraping along edge of skin w credit card. Clean area w soap ; warm water. Apply ice in 10 min. Increments (10 on/10 off). Can try tylenol, (acetaminophen) Aspirin or Motrin for pain. For swelling – elevate affected area. Benadryl helps w swelling /itching. Make paste - 2 parts baking soda ; 1 part water ; apply. Need tetanus shot every 10 years. Throat, airway, mouth swelling or difficulty breathing? Call 911.
