Stung by a bee a week ago...area stayed red and swollen for several days. The area is purple reddish in color now and looks like it is dispersed and pin point. A week ago was put on an antibiotic. Two days ago complained of headache, vomited, and had fever. Today fever gone but pin point itchy rash appeared all over body. Any thoughts?
