How To Stop Vomiting After A Bee Sting?

Good evening, Mum 78 had sudden shivers on saturday night by sunday morning she was well, unfortunately on monday while watching the tv a bee bit her on the arm and in 10 minutes she started vomitting and her eyes were turned white, I called the ambulance and she was given antihistemic injection together with the drip and by mid day she was better and was discharged by 3pm from the hospital and was very weak could hardly walk, on wednesday she seemed better but still in bed and was feeling dizzy with bad `spinning of the head`. Today she started vomitting (not much) and I called our GP to see whats going on, he gave her an injection of Stemedil and told me she will be ok in couple of hours, at lunch time I gave her light meal and she vomitted all out! She feels very weak, cant walk, and needs to sleep! Shes diabeticon insuline, on anti caugulant pills, had a stroke 9 years ago but all was well affecting her speach...........dont have a clue what to do! Very worried! Her sugar level is normal, her pulse is ok, her blood preasure is normal!

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

When bees sting a person they will inject venom through their stinger into the skin of the victim.People stung by bees will have an allergic reaction to the sting and in severe cases it will causes anaphylaxis.

For any Bee sting, following measures should be followed

1.If the stinger is present remove it immediately.

2.Apply ice or cold packs to the area to reduce the body's inflammatory reaction.

3.Wash the area with soap and water

4.Take antihistamine such as Benadryl.

5.Pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also provide relief of symptom.
Aforementioned measures should followed whenever there is a bee sting.
Thank you
