Hello, Welcome to HCM,
The bee sting is an acute emergency condition which should be treated vigorously and adequately, because it will releases the poison which will cause all these symptoms.
It will releases mediators like histamine which will leads to all these problems. The left over sting should be removed carefully with the help of forceps.The symptoms are reduced by 1. Parentral Avil 2. InJ Hydrocortisone 3. Oral Antihistamines 4. If there is excess of itching Cold pack over the itchy area. Thank you.
