Should I Be Concerned After A Bee Sting In Shoulder And Underarms?
my husband was stung by a bee between his shoulder and armpit.. the area is red but not severely swollen, however just under his armpit there is a swelling of about the size of a baseball.. His breathing is fine.. I gave him a benedryl tablet immediately and put the bee sting benedryl on the area... Should I be concerned??

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This is normal for bites in axillar area and swelling i usually accumulated under armpit. So you dont have to be concerned if there are no other symptoms that you ve mentioned. just put some ice on it and report any new changes of his condition.
WIsh you good health. Regards
