What Are The Medications To Take For Bee Stings?

I received two bee stings from honey bees today on my scalp, both on the crown, one either side. Left side is slightly swollen, right is not, but the lymph node behind my right ear is swollen, and the left lymph node is tender and seems to be headed in that direction. What medication should I take?
