  • MY DAUGHTER IS VERY ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS. SHE GOT STUNG BY A WASP YESTERDAY..TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM VIA AMBULANCE..THEY TREATED HER AND TOLD HER TO TAKE BENADRYL FOR 5 DAYS. ...show more

  • Answer:

    It will take about a week. I got stung by a bee and I am allergic to them and it took a week for the swelling to go away. What helped me is that I put Ice on it and it took some of the swelling away. Try to put ice on where she got stung. It will help. I hope your Daughter will be ok.

It is very possible for the swelling to get worse as the toxin has to be cleared by the body. If it is getting worse however she should be seen again by the physician as there is other medications that may help ease the irritation.

It is not normal but it does happen. Time to call the doc and tell him what is going on.
