zyrtec for bee sting

The other day I was out golfing and I got stung on the top on my head by either a bee or a wasp, the swelling started but worsend after a nights sleep. Shortly after I noticed two bumps on thr back on my neck. So now I'm wondering, is it normal for bug bites and sting to cause lymp nodes to swell?

Hi, Let's not assume bee sting. Is the whole leg swollen or just part? Is the foot and/or ankle swollen? Is your cat licking or paying special attention to a specific site on the leg? Is there any wound or mark, even a scratch on the swollen leg? It could very likely be an infection, or, since he's putting no weight on it at all, it could be broken. Either would account for swelling.

So I stepped on a bee and got a sting -_- will it harm my baby?

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.

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.

Hi, there! Apitherapy (Bee Venom Therapy) has been around for half a century or so and because the bee venom appears to have an antiinflammatory action on the nerves it has been used with a lot of "anecdotal" success by lots of people. It is an old part of Chinese traditional medicine for a wide variety of illnesses. Enthusiasm for it heightened in the mid to late 90's when it was featured on one of the News Magazine TV shows like 60 Minutes.

I have a quick question (and I want to see if anyone else has this problem): I am really, really frustrated because for the last month or so, I have been having a "bee sting" sensation all over my body. It started out just around my back, and it has spread everywhere!!! Argh! I had no idea that this was a possible symptom of MS, but when I contacted my Neuro, she said that it was common (that was news to me!). She put me on Neurontin and said that it would help.

So there's this wasp that's been hanging around me all day and I've never been stung to know if I'm allergic but I know my aunt is. If this thing decides to sting me before my bf gets home and I am allergic will it affect my babies? Or would it depend upon how allergic I am to the sting? I'm hiding in my room now lol but idk what to do if I got stung n had a reaction to it..

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.

I am geeting a pain in my neck/shoulder area that feels like a bee sting the pain comes and goes and feels like it getting worse

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..

After a few days if still swollen running hot water over the sting area makes it drain faster. Like hot water in the shower for 15 minutes twice a day on that spot. For me the swelling will stay for a good 2 weeks. But if I repeat hot water over the sting area I an make it go away in just a few days. By now you would have known if you were allergic. So if you had an allergic reaction other than swelling take antihistamine before running hot water over it.

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.

It sounds to me like a bee sting or stings. For something to get that swollen in 20 minutes it has to be some type of insect sting. Where do you live (general area)? Do they have bark scorpions where you live? That's another possibility. Benadryl is excellent for relieving allergic reactions such as swelling from a bee sting. Please let us know how she is doing.

When I was first diagnosed, years ago, they were using bee stings as a possible treatment for MS. The doctor told me that outside of bee stings there really wasn't much else they could offer me other than comfort drugs. I settled for the comfort (Of which there was very little) and ate bee pollen by the hand full! All I got from that was beautiful hair and nails not to mention a slight pain med addiction! I sometimes forget to be grateful. But every time I see a bee it comes back to me.

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?

Be on the safe side and take her to the vet. I would do that soon, if she appears to be in pain. It might be wiser not to use Human meds, but to wait for a veterinary prescription. Many human painkillers just aren't a good idea for dogs. Poor girl. I can't say I know what's wrong here. Are you sure she didn't get stung by a bee or something? Look for any sting marks, bite marks (I'm thinking other critters as well,) or swelling at the back of her neck.

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??
