Hi there, it’s an allergic reaction which usually happens with bee sting bite but I cannot appreciate whether any infection has settled in or not.
My advice would be to either come for online chat or visit a doctor.
In the meanwhile, try taking over-the-counter medications- Benadryl or Allegra 180 mg ( at night) and no mechanical activity after taking these medications as they may cause little sedation
Apply lactocalamine lotion for soothing the area and decreases the redness and itching as well
Take analgesics like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain relief.
Apply ice packs locally for redness and swelling.
Next Steps
1. Consult online for more information and better care
2. Try the meds I have mentioned
Health Tips
Fever, increase in pain and swelling, fainting, or any other unusual symptoms
