I got stung yesterday night and my foot is still very red and swollen. I got the stinger out, but my foot still hurts because its so swollen! How long until the swelling will go down?

I allowed mine to heal evidently with occasional bee sting creams. It took about 5 days to heal yet that became only me. it oftentimes takes everywhere between 3days to 2 weeks searching on the severity. i became stung via a smaller bee and the stinger dropped someplace good after contact so i became kept... attempt icing it for now, and later purchase any bee sting cream at a drug shop. you could only educate the table man or woman your bump and she or he will be able of offer you something.

it varies per person. If 12 hours go by and the swelling has not reduced you should see a doctor. Vinegar is good for bee stings and also ice for the swelling. If you are in any pain take a pain killer.

Baking soda mixed with a little water is your best bet here.
