How To Treat Bee Stung Under Left Arm On Side Of Breast?
I just got stung under left arm on side of my breast. I have been told I am allergic to bee stings. Right now I am keeping my left arm resting on top of my head and this significantly lessens the pain at site . What advice can you give me? Thank you.

Hi,
Bee sting is an emergency condition. You should immediately consult dermatologist and take treatment. There may be swelling,burning pain,itching, weakness..etc. steroid like dexamethasone injection may be taken in proper and tappering dose for few days along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. Apply antibiotic cream to avoid secondary bacterial infection. Take rest and keep the arm elevated. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
