Suggest Treatment For Swelling After Stung By Honey Bee

I got stung on my pinki toe from a honey bee last evening.I am not allergic to bees, however i have noticed that my pinki toe is swollen, but not painful to the touch, there was a pouch in my toe that had popped and blood and greenish fluid came out. Now it looks like my toe is purple. It has swollen so much that i can feel it next to my other toe when I walk or stand. It doesnt hurt at all or itch anymore, just swollen. I am on 7.5 mg Coumadin. ANything suggestions? thanks!

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It looks like allergy to the bee sting.

I advice uoi should take prednisolone and chlorpheniramine maleate two times a day for two days. This will help in reducing allergic reaction.

Tab. Cefixime three times a day, aceclofenac three times a day and pantoprazole three times a day.

Please take above medication under your doctors guidance.

Please take good care of the local bite mark, please maintain good hygiene by frequent cleaning dressing. This will help prevent further infection in the wound.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
