Burning Sensation In Leg, Bitten By Bee, Swelling And Redness. How Can It Be Treated?
Three days ago I was walking kids home from school when I felt several burning sensations in three different spots on my leg. When I got home and pulled off my pants a bee fell out. As time goes on my thigh continues to swell and the redness, hardness and hotness is spreading and it hurts more and more as time passes instead of Easing up. I can hardly walk due to the pain and I'm wondering if this Is normal or if I should go to the hospital since my family dr can't get me in for another two weeks.

Hello,
In normal situation,you should have been all right by now.
But the way your symptoms have deterioted in past three days clearly suggest that you have developed infection at the sting site.
You must consult a doctor and get antibiotics prescribed.
Take anti inflammatory like ibuprofen 400 mg three times A day for 4-5 days along with antibiotics.
Thanks
