What Relieves The Pain In The Calf Caused Due To A Bee Sting?
I got stung by a bubble bee around 9:00 a.m. I placed a piece of cold onion the pain subsided right away but about three hours later it started to hurt. I got stung on the upper part of my calf I think it stung a nerve because it feels tight my whole calf now hurts when I walk. It is not red or swollen and the pain is concentrated on the calf only. I am 57 years old and weigh 162 pounds.

What Relieves The Pain In The Calf Caused Due To A Bee Sting?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. No, it has not bite you on the nerve. The stiffness is because of the local reaction caused because of sting. I advice you to take prednisolone tablet and cetrizine tablet under your doctors guidance. This will relieve any selling and allergic reaction. You can also use clobetasol steroid ointment locally at the site of sting. Please do not apply onion in future to such a sting marks because it may cause infection at local site. Please do regular dressing and cleanliness as it is equally important as taking the antibiotic. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
