I got stung by a bee, and now it itches like CRAZY! help??


Question:
So I stepped on a bee, and I iced it so it didn't swell, but that happened two days ago and this is the worst itch I have ever had. I tried anti-itch cream, but it didn't really work. I have been stung by bees many times beefore (haha, that was a typo, but...) so I am pretty sure that I am not allergic. Please, this is so uncomfortable!

Answers:
The best and fastest way to reduce itching is through the use of an antihistamine pill . These are available over the counter at your drug store. Claritin is a good one, or Benedrel may work as well although it might make you sleepy. Also, you can use a topical antihistamine as well.
I don't know how to help you after 2 days but i know right after you are stung you are suppose to wet tabbaco and put it on the spot.
Try getting some sting-killer. You can buy this at Wal*Mart. If you want something for now dab a lil bit of gasoline on it to stop the sting.
Try some cortisone cream, Bactine, or if all else fails, Windex... it works on mosquito bites, so why not for a bee sting...
Take a benadryl or other antihistamine.It is a mild allergic reaction.
Try either topical Benadryl or cortisone cream.
Benedryl will help with the itching. Take a Benedryl and in an houur your itching will stop. I am allergic to the bee and Hornets so I have to take Benedryl to get the swelling down and also the itching. Benedryl also comes in a stick form and it is for itching and it works I have used it and it works great.
