How to reduce swelling and relieve pain after a bee sting

Many people will encounter some unexpected events in their lives to a greater or lesser extent, such as physical injuries caused by attacks by some insects. It is very common for people to develop redness and swelling after being stung by bees. Most people think of what method to use to relieve their pain and swelling when this happens. So, how to reduce swelling and relieve pain after a bee sting?

First, how to reduce swelling and relieve pain after a bee sting? When you are stung by a bee, don't panic. The bee's venom is not as strong as that of a bumblebee. First of all, stay calm and don't slap the wound too much or panic too much. After calming down, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. Start to squeeze the remaining stinger after the bee sting is broken out. Squeeze the sting out. If it feels difficult to squeeze out, you can use a needle or tweezers and other tools. No matter what, you must find a way to get the sting out. This is the most critical step. Otherwise, the stinger left inside will make the subsequent steps futile. After squeezing the sting out, prepare soapy water and start to rinse the wound (if you are outdoors and there is no soapy water, you can use urine, or crushed mint leaves and attach them to the wound). As long as it is an alkaline solution, it can be used, because bee venom is acidic, and acid and alkali neutralize each other. You know...

Second, if you still feel pain 10 minutes after washing with soapy water, you can apply 99 dermatitis ointment to the wound. Apply it evenly to prevent skin allergies and swelling. If the swelling and pain persist after a period of time, and dizziness and vomiting occur, you should go to the hospital immediately for medical consultation. Afterwards, you should also be careful not to drink alcohol and avoid spicy food to prevent recurrence of swelling and pain.

How to reduce swelling and relieve pain after a bee sting? If there is no alkali, you can find a shrub called "Jing" (there are many such plants in the wild), crush its leaves (if there are no tools, just use stones) and apply them to the stung area. However, if it is too serious, such as being stung severely by a large group of bees, it is better to go to the hospital. There is a kind of bee in the wild called the bull bee, which is as long as a thumb and very fat. Not to mention humans, there are cases where cows are stung to death. There is also a kind of wasp that is very powerful. If you are stung by a bee, you should use your fingernails to scrape off the stinger (including the bee venom) along the direction of the sting. Do not use the fingernails of two fingers to clamp out the stinger, as this will squeeze the bee venom into the muscle and prolong the time it takes to reduce swelling. Don't worry about anything after the treatment, the swelling will be gone in three days (for people who have never been stung). If a person is often stung, such as a beekeeper, there will be no redness or swelling after being stung by a bee. A small number of people may experience skin allergies. If it is not very serious, there is no need to worry, as the skin allergy will disappear after a few hours. If it is serious, see a doctor.
