What should I do if a bee sting causes swelling?

Swelling after being stung by a bee is a normal reaction. The principle is that bees have stingers. When the bee is stimulated or attacked, the stinger will automatically strike out and be buried in the skin. The most obvious symptom for the patient is pain and itching. Because of the different types of bees, the symptoms that appear in the body after being stung by a bee are also different, but the patient must receive first aid, otherwise the bee venom will endanger the patient's health. So what should I do if a bee sting causes swelling?

1. Bee venom is weakly alkaline, so you can use vinegar, 1% acetic acid or Wuji ointment to scrub the wound.

2. The stinger remaining in the wound can be picked out with a needle or tweezers, but do not squeeze it to prevent the remaining toxin from entering the body. Then use cupping to suck out the venom and reduce the absorption of toxins.

3. Apply ice to the sting to relieve pain and swelling. If the pain is severe, you can take some painkillers.

4. If there is a tendency to spread, there may be an allergic reaction. You can take some anti-allergic drugs, such as diphenhydramine, promethazine and other anti-allergic drugs.

5. Observe closely for about half an hour. If you find that the patient has difficulty breathing, or his breathing becomes rough or has a wheezing sound, even a little bit, immediately go to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.

6. If you are accidentally stung by a bee, the wound will immediately become red and swollen, and feel a burning pain. At this time, you should immediately apply some alkaline water (ammonia water is better) to neutralize the acid and alkali, reduce the toxicity, and also have a pain-relieving effect. If there are onions at the time, wash them, slice them and apply them on the wound, which is also effective.

7. Apply cucumber juice to the affected area several times a day to relieve pain and reduce swelling.

8. Choose fresh dandelion, violet yedoensis, seven-leaf clematis, lobelia, etc., wash and mash them, and apply them around the wound, which has a good effect.

9. Apply a circle of dissolved Nantong snake medicine tablets about 2 cm around the puncture wound. It has the effects of detoxification, pain relief and swelling reduction.

10. Use soapy water, 3% ammonia water, 5-10% sodium bicarbonate water, saline solution, or sugar water to wash the wound.

What should you do if a bee sting causes swelling? The answer to this question is very clear. The patient should use good methods to treat the wound. First, remove the broken needle in the body. Otherwise, people with poor skin will develop lesions and many skin problems will occur, such as ulcers, abscesses, etc. Then disinfect and apply medicine. If the itching is not relieved, other folk remedies can be used as auxiliary treatment. In this way, the wound recovery will be accelerated and the irritation to the skin will be reduced.
