Please help with bee stings?!
Question: Please help with bee stings.?
I stood on a bee a week ago, and got stung. It's on my right foot's toe that is next to the smallest toe (the one in the outer-end). It's still swollen and very very itchy. I know it's supposed to be like this for a while, but the inflammation is on and off. Yesterday, it was less swollen but today it feels like i've dislocated something (which i haven't) or even got re-stung but without the pain and it is really swollen. Please please help!Health Question & Answer

~~You need to check your foot under bright light with a magnifying glass. Sounds as if the stinger s still in there. If so remove it. If not, just apply toothpaste on it and cover with a band aid. It will relieve the pain a couple of minutes. Just amazing for bee and wasp stings.

When i was a kid, we always put mud on a bee sting, and that helped "pull" the stinger out. Your's is an old sting, though, and i'm sure the stinger is still in, and it's causing the whole area to become inflamed, if not infected. You need to get the stinger out. New skin might have grown over the hole from the bee sting, so you may have to reopen it (providing you can see or find it.) That, or just go to your doctor or the ER, and let them deal with it. You might need a little lancing to get it out, at this point (could be fun!)Health Question & Answer
Go to a gas station, and buy the cheapest can of dip you can. If you dont want to put it in your mouth, get a pinch, doesnt have to be a big one, and dip it in water to get it moist. Just for a few seconds. This will draw the poison and the stinger (if its still in) out.Health Question & Answer
Take a close look and make sure the stinger isn't still in there. You can use topical benedryl cream to help with the swelling and itching. I have heard that a paste of water and baking soda applied to the spot of the sting will also help.Health Question & Answer
If you went to the ER, they would soak the foot in cold water to reduce inflammation, and give you a Benadryl for its antihistamine effects. You can do that at home.
