What Causes Swelling And Itching In The Ankle After A Bee Sting?
I was stung 2x by honey bee in each ankle. I have taken Benadryl 25 mg when it occurred and 24 hours later. I am taking Allegra also180 mg every 24 hours. I did apply Apple cider vinegar at once and 24 hours and 48 hours later a baking soda paste. It had been 72 hours and I still have swelling itchiness. I also used calamine lotion with Benadryl . I m a nurse and just finished 12 hour shift, still have quite a bit swelling and itch. Notice hands are a bit swallen. No breathing issues. Should I see a Dr.?
