HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible to experience swellings in other areas if the allergic response became more generalised.

The use of an oral antihistamine would help to reduce the swelling and other aspects of the allergic response.

I hope this helps

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be allergic condition and may not be due to bee sting and this may be treated with anti-histamine and the best drug would be Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, hope this information helps, have a nice day.(One need to be very careful because underlying cause of this condition need to be found out )
