Bee Sting

[cassa333]

Hi,

I was stung by a bee last Wed and although it hurt like billyo and it swelled a bit, it did go down.

Now however it itches like mad if anything touches it.

When should it stop itching?

Thanks

I have only been properly stung once and the sensitivity took weeks to go away. An antihistamine or steroid cream should help, go see a pharmacist and ask what they advise.

I would have taken an antihistamine straight away until the swelling went away. Not too late to do so, though. Haven't been stung by a bee in over twenty years, but I still remember the pain.
