Common Questions and Answers about Zyrtec bee sting
zyrtec
So I stepped on a bee and got a sting -_- will it harm my baby?
It seems it was some kind of rare delayed reaction to the bee sting. I thought maybe something had crawled across my face and had a buffet when I was sleeping since it was so long after the sting. When I called the Dr. he thought it was pink eye, until they saw it and the hives around the swollen area. They gave me a round of steroids, but I have no tolerance for most prescription drugs for some reason.
I would recommend that you keep some liquid benadryl or zyrtec on hand (liquid gels work quite well also) for a fast acting antihistamine to treat these types of situations. Liquids work much faster than pill forms. Also, if you are on allergy shots, you might want to ask for an Epi-Pen if your doctor doesn't automatically prescribe them to allergy shot patients.
A key symptom to look for would be difficulty breathing. If this were to occur, get to an ER ASAP.
Feel better.
im on day 6 ct from percs/hydro and just wanted to say how much reading this site has helped me, hearing that everyone else knew what it felt like and made it through was really what gave me hope. for the first few days my back pain was intolerable so i began bee sting therapy again, something i did before the opiates, and honestly the pain from 10 bee stings a day was better than the back pain, this still did nothing for the WD's which were agony.
Yeah its like a bee sting..
Went to the dr today for a bite and he says it's either a bee sting or a wasp sting he gave me .20 mg of prednisone 3 pills for 10 days....why is that? I thought I should get an antibiotic.
nyway, it could have been a bee or wasp sting perhaps? If dogs snap at them, which they unfortunately do sometimes, then that's it, -they get stung. If that's the case with her, then it's better to be stung on the lips (painful though it must be) than to be stung in the throat, where swelling could be extremely dangerous, life-threatening in fact.
As a first-aid measure I think you probably did the right thing, cooling the area would help to reduce any swelling and ease the pain.
Hi, welcome to the forum, this can be a insect sting due to wasp insect or bee. With insect sting, the symptom varies from minor bite pain to life threatening anaphylactic shock. The types of manifestations encountered are local reactions, systemic allergic reactions, toxic reactions, and delayed reactions.
Local reactions are the most common type of response to insect stings and are seen immediately, and include swelling, erythema, and pain, affecting areas that are seen with the sting site.
My forehead was very painful and swollen, but after a lot benedryl and prednisone the symptoms on my head resolved in 3 days. However, 7 hours post bee sting I woke up with hives on my legs, butt, back and arms. There were no new foods, medications, or detergents. I did bring a new foster dog into the household 3 weeks prior to the hives but have since then found her a home. I have now had hives every night for 3 weeks, mostly at night but ocassionally during the day.
I found a carpenter bee hole in the wood under one of my rabbit cages about 3 weeks ago and I filled the holes and they drilled through that, so then I covered it with a some metal and tape ! I found one of my rabbits dead a week ago and it was her cage the hole was under ! When we were getting her out of the cage to bury her I noticed that the tape had came down and a bumble bee flew out !!
About a week and a half ago, I got stung by a bee, resulting in massive swelling of my big toe. The swelling has since gone down, but the top of my toe now has a large patch of red, wrinkly skin. It feels very "leathery" as well. It is not on the site of the bee sting (I got stung on the bottom of my toe), so I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the swelling than the sting. Do you think this will go away on its own? Or should I be using some sort of lotion or cream?
Double puncture-mark, obviously means snake, though in the absence of any other symptoms, I would doubt she has been bitten by a snake, unless it is a non-venomous one.... or signs of a bee sting embedded. Bees leave the sting in, so it does hurt. I know. Because the sting is 'barbed' it's not so easy to just pull out. And doing that can make the inflammation worse.
Then after a month and a half, I woke up one morning and directly around the bee sting there was a round quite noticable lump that with ice, went down after a couple of hours. Now today, I have had the same thing happen. The lump is very distinct at first and then seems to disappate into my nose (between my eyes) and is gradually disappearing.
I went to the doctor and she said that there was no stinger left behind and that there is some kind of pocket??
