Suggest Medication For Swelling Around Eye Due To Bee Bite

Hello, my English/American Staffy who is 10 years old has come inside with a puffy face around the eyes and has a husky cough, which I have never heard from him before. He has been bitten by a Bee in the past and had a reaction to it but only swelling not a cough. Is he having another reaction to something? He also is a Food Soldier but will not look at his food? Thank you Toni

Hi,
She is having hypersensitivity reaction and it has involved larnynx . It may be fatal if not treated immmediaty .It has started due to body reaction in form of type 4 hypersensitive reaction due to foreign bee wasp and started involving larynx . once larengeal edema occurs it becomes life threatning .
So in my opnion immediately rush to emergency dept and get treated with injectable anti histaminic , stetoids and latter if necessary with broncodilators and other supportive measure.

Thanks n regards
