What Are The Medications To Take For Bee Stings?
I received two bee stings from honey bees today on my scalp, both on the crown, one either side. Left side is slightly swollen, right is not, but the lymph node behind my right ear is swollen, and the left lymph node is tender and seems to be headed in that direction. What medication should I take?

You have to take steroids preferbaly low dose steroid that i prednisolone and anti histaminics like chlorpheniramine maleate. also if you are feeling pain than analgesics like diclofenac sodium. all i have written here is the pharmacological brand name you should consult your doctor regarding the stings. because visual observation and detail history will tell us much about treatment part.
