Can Local Swelling Due To Several Bee Stings Cause Vasovagal Syncope?
May local swelling due to several bee stings cause vasovagal syncope ? The bees stung within half hour before fainting, one in the forearm, second under the chin and the third in the left armpit. There was local swelling, but no anaphylaxis.
Thank you,

in my opinion you may need tatenus antibiotics anti allergics anti inflamatory tab and local ointment
if more discomfort can use shortcourse of steroids
