Suggest Treatment For Bee Sting With Fever And Chills
My 5 year old was stung by a single bee about 4 hours ago but now he has a low grade fever, fatigue, chills and is just generally acting like he isn t feeling well. Could this be related to the bee sting and if so should I take him to the doctor or try to treat it at home? He has been stung one other time last year but didn t develop this reaction and I did remove the stinger.

thanks for your question. yes it is the allergic reaction to the bee sting. there can be redness or swelling at bite site.
please give him antiallergic medication like avil. if his respiration is not normal or any chocked up feeling then kindly visit emergency room.
