Suggest Remedies For A Bee Sting

My husband was stung by a bee on his finger three months ago. It is still sore and swollen. He can only bend it halfway. Doc did a round of antibiotics which didn t help. Then X-rays which showed nothing. He has iced, elevated it, taken Advil for a month. Would prednisone help or a different antibiotic?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.

I he should do MRI scan to see is there tendinitis or panaritium and in this case even surgery may be required. Steroids may help but these should be taken under supervision of doctor. I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
