Suggest Treatment For Swollen Finger After Bee Sting

hi, I got stung by a bee yesterday on the tip of my ring finger, it swelled up and about 12 hours later had swelled to my palm and the base of my nearby fingers. At this point I also got instantly freezing cold (but my skin was hot) I covered myself in blankets and fell asleep only to wake up sweating. Now it has been 18 hours since the sting and the swelling is the same, but I just went through another cold flash thing. Plz help me understand if this is normal or not and what I can do to help it

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
If you are having temperature then it isn't normal and you definitely need to show to your GP. The treatment for bee sting is tablet cetrizine 10mg 1×PO×BD. For fever you can take tablet paracetamol 500mg 2×PO×SOS.
