What can be done for a bee sting?


Question:
my husband got stung by a bee between two of his toes..we got the stinger out..but he's saying its hurting really bad. Its got some swelling..but not to bad..it's not red or anything. It happened about 3 hours ago..

any suggestions?

Answers:
Baking soda and VINEGAR pulls out a stinger and I also heard toothpaste does too but since you got it out already, well, it doesn't much matter. The redness is normal as long as he's not having an adnormal reaction which he should then seek a doctor. Tell him to maybe try some benadryl as it's made for allergic reactions to a certain extent. Maybe even try elevating his foot to help with the throbbing. Good luck to him!
put some baking soda and water on it that will get the poison out then put some ice on it that will bring the swelling down
Hydrocortisone cream will help the itching/swelling. Benadryl taken orally might help.
