Am I having a delayed reaction to a bee sting?

Is this bee sting reaction normal?

  • Answer:

    Well, the main concern with a bee sting is an allergic reaction, which it seems you are not having... The swelling could just be a bit delayed. Use an ice pack and some OTC antihistamines (for the immune reaction), as well as some NSAIDs to help with the swelling and pain. If it doesn't go away after several days, or you see signs of an infection (possible if you didn't get the whole stinger out - symptoms include fever, redness that spreads, skin is hot to the touch, oozing, etc.) then call the doctor. Best of luck! :)
