I was stung by a bee on Saturday at lunch. I am allergic to them so made sure the stinger was out, took benedryl (had a nice nap!) and iced the area.
I've continued with the benedryl at night and taken zyrtec during the day. The area is now about 6 inches across and seems to be spreading somewhat.
Other than continuing as I have or taking prednisone (raises my BP too much), is there anything else I can do? How long should it take to subside?
The last time this happened I was stung by 2 bees on my wrist and and the whole arm swelled. They gave me a steroid shot which I do not want to do again as I got little or no sleep for 2 or 3 days after.
TIA....
