Can Constricted Throat And Itching After Bee Sting Indicate An Allergy?
My throat feels tight, and I am itchy and hot. This feeling has been going on since earlier today when I was stung by a bee. This is probably the second time I have ever been stung by a bee in my whole life. My mother is severely allergic to bees. Could I be experiencing an allergic reaction as well? I was stung on the finger, and quickly flicked the bee off. Immediately my finger began to burn, and that finger is swelling.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This does sound like an allergic reaction to the sting.
You should use an anti histamine as soon as possible. If the reaction worsens, it would be best to visit a doctor or ER as soon as you can.
Additional medication may be needed.
I hope this helps
