Bee Sting, Fever, Foot Swelling Increasing And Travelling To The Ankle. Taking Ibuprofen, Benadry. Is It Dangerous?
hello - I was stung by a bee two full days ago on my big toe . I had a fever yesterday (102.2 at the highest) and the swelling in my foot has been gradually increasing since the sting - it has now encompassed my whole foot and is traveling up my ankle. Need I worry about how long the swelling has been increasing? I have been taking ibuprofen , benadryl , and icing it regularly, as well as trying to keep off it and keep it elevated.

Hello patient want to really help
That i read your history carefully
And i suggest that
It is cellulitis/infection has occured after bite
So you need to
Elevate your foot
Take capsule; lincomycin 400 mg three times/daily
Tablet Dicloran 50 mg three times
All for 1week
Take care
