What to do if you get stung by a bee and it becomes red and swollen

Bees are experts at collecting honey, but sometimes they are also small killers that collect blood. Being stung by a bee does not cause itching like being bitten by a mosquito, which will go away after a while. Being stung by a bee is very painful and you dare not touch it. It will be very itchy afterwards and will not go away for a long time. Some people may even suffer from poisoning, which is life-threatening. The venom of bees is acidic. After being stung, emergency treatment must be carried out immediately with alkaline solution. If not handled properly, the skin may become necrotic. The following introduces what to do if you get redness and swelling after being stung by a bee. Let's take a look at it just in case.

In severe cases, the injured area will be red, swollen, and blisters will form, with local severe pain or itching, fever, headache, nausea and vomiting, irritability, convulsions, and coma. People with specific constitutions are allergic to bee venom and can rapidly develop symptoms of anaphylactic shock such as swelling of the face and eyelids, urticaria, laryngeal edema, abdominal pain and diarrhea, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and confusion, and eventually die from respiratory and circulatory failure.
