Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband was stung by a bee earlier today. He is not suffering from shortness of breath but his arm and hand are very swollen. We have tried baking soda and ice compress and that does not seem to be helping. Should he take a Benadryl tablet or should he be seen by a physician?
