How Can Foot Swelling With Pain Caused By A Bite Be Treated?
My sister got stung she thinks from a bumble bee. It is swoolen, red and hurts her pretty bad. Is there something we can do to take the pain away. She is in bed now, because it hurts too much to walk on her foot, where she was stung? Thank you for whatever help you can give us. Barbara Jones
