Put some hydrocortisone cream on it or benadryl cream, something to stop itching. You can take benadryl too, that will work for itching.
My grandma had a weird remedy for the itching involved with bee stings..she'd mix baking soda and water and put it on my bee stings...but when I think about it, it didnt itch anymore after she put it on.....?

Answer 3

it is normal for bee stings to itch. try putting Benadryl stick on it. if you don't have that, hydrocortisone cream might help, as will ice; a poultice of tobacco (dampen tobacco and put on the sting, holding it on with a band-aid or something like that) - this is an old remedy my Mom used years ago. good luck. if you develop significant swelling or breathing problems, you need to go to the ER ASAP.

- yeah, meat tenderizer works too!

Answer 4

I'll back the benadryl capsule. It will help with itching and bring down the swelling. I'm minorly allergic to bee stings, and they swell and itch like crazy for me. Stupid bugs.

But benadryl does the trick overnight. I was so happy when I tried that for the first time.
