Help ASAP, Bee sting!!!?


Question:
My 11 year old son was just stung by a bee on his lip!! What can we do for it? He is keeping ice on his lip now. And since the sting is on his lip, We cant apply any kind of ointment on it. Unless someone knows a natural edible remedy to put on it?? Or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thank-you!!

Answers:
Hey I know a natural remedy. When I was younger, as a kid, my parents would go outside and get mud. I think the darker mud, the better. Like black mud but any type of mud will do. Just mix some water with it to make it into that pasty form and then apply it to the bee sting. It will help not feel the bee sting as much and relieve it some. Take care.
Apply baking soda mixed with water to make a paste.
is not edible but my gramma always put mudd on our bites,,,but make sure to take out the stinger first,,use a credit card and scrape it across his lip and apply mudd,,but tell him NOT TOP LICK IT OFF, but if he does ,a little dirt never hurt
treat bee-stings with an alkaline solution i.e milk of magnesia AND
wasp stings with acid solution i.e vinegar
Here's what you do. You take a needle, dip it in rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, and stick it in the wound where the sting was. Ensure to stick it in far enough (about a half inch) Then, you want to squeeze the wound really hard until you get all the puss and blood out of there (the infection). After that, scrub the wound with soap and water.

Cover it up with a band aid. Check the wound out in two days. If it is still puffy, repeat procedure over again. This works all the time because you get all the infection out by squeezing it out.
you need to get the stinger out, if its still in. Leaving it in can cause infection and will make the pain he experiences worse.
Baking soda and water will make a thick paste that will draw out some of the venom (which in part causes the pain felt when stung) and also will help clean the wound of any other bacterium the bee may have been carrying when it stung your son. You need to be absolutely sure hes not allergic to bee stings especially as the sting occurred so very close to his airway. Give him a tylenol or other pain/swelling reducer right away.
Also, have him suck on ice chips. this will help to reduce any swelling.
