My daughter is very allergic to bee stings and fire ants also...She gets bit and 5 mintues later she swells up like a little balloon. Our Dr. told us to use regular Chlorox Bleach. I thought he was crazy but tried it anyway...It works like a charm. Kills the venom, swelling and allergic reactions are almost ZERO...Carrying the stuff around is the prollem...But as bad as it sounds it works on all types of bug bites. Just pour the stuff on the sting full strength as soon as he gets stung. Give it about 5 minutes then wash it off and pull stinger out if bee didn't do it for you.

First, you need to find a new Dr.! The treatment for bee stings is epinephrine. It comes in a convenient syringe call an "epi-pen" and looks kinda like a ballpoint pen and has the same action as one. Whenever your son gets stung by a bee, he just takes the pen out and injects it in his leg or wherever your NEW Dr. suggests. Then you take him to an ER or urgent care center and they will monitor him for a while to make sure he's gonna be ok. You and your son will need to carry these pens with you all the time.

Bees don't bite, so it must be a sting. However, are you sure it was a bee? If it was a wasp, hornet, yellowjacket, or one of an assortment of similar-looking yellow-and-black striped insects, the stinger may have stayed in the insect's body - it only typically comes out with honeybees. Also, the stinger may have worked its way out or fallen out already, or it may not be very visible due to the swelling - looking at it through a magnifying glass might help.

You need to see a specialist who will do allergy tests to see whether he is allergic to all bee stings or possibly a sting from particular type of bee, he may then be able to be de-sensitised. You must also make sure you have an epi-pen.

Find an allergist and ask about carrying an EpiPen.
