What treatment can be prescribed to manage the pain from a bee string?

If you have the misfortune to be stung, it’s normal for a sting to hurt for several hours. Put cold compresses on the painful and swollen area and take a painkiller and an antihistamine. (Cold compresses and ice cubes work for mosquito bites, too.) If the pain continues and the swelling extends considerably beyond where you were stung, you should contact your doctor. An allergic sting reaction can be life-threatening and even fatal, though the severity of the reaction can vary from one instance to the next. If you have experienced a severe allergic reaction to an insect sting, then you could have a similar or worse reaction if you’re stung again. Always carry two epinephrine autoinjectors and consider wearing a medical bracelet or other identification for stinging insect allergy.
