Yesterday, my boyfriend was stung on his leg, & he thinks it was a bee because the stinger was left in him (he didn't see the bug). He thought he was fine, so he went swimming (this happened @ the beach). Later, at nite, the bite started hurting when he walked & 2day, it has become a big, red, swollen area. He says it feels like a constant pressure of a pain and he put some ice on it & took some ibprofin. Is this a normal reaction to a bee sting? Should he go to the doctor? Is it too late to treat it since he didn't treat it right after he was stung? He hasn't had any other symptoms of possible allergy or anything. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!
