General & Family Physician 's  Response
welcome to hcm,
After a bee stung, the area of the bite has to be examined and the stings which may be in the bitten area must be removed. pain has to be managed by mild painkillers. any itching sensation has to be treated with antihistamines. It may take 2- 3 days for it to heal
hope this explains
