How To Heal A Big Stung Arm?
I was stung by a bee on Sunday. I usually don't have much trouble but this time my arm where I was stung is warm, itchy, hurts to the touch and the swelling is continuing to increase. It was three inches in diameter and now it is about eight inches and it is moderately swollen. I am taking Benadryl, ice helps it stop hurting and I am spraying it with dreamoplast, a pain reliving cream and anesthetic.
