Question

i've tried everything! it is making me sick to my stomach and ive missed school because of it. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Benedryl. Follow the package dosage directions or talk to your doctor.

Answer 2

You are just slightly allergic to the sting. If you have some benedryl in the house, take it as directed. Put ice on the sting for about 10 min. at a time. Also pack the sting site with moist baking soda(make a paste) and let it sit. It will draw any venom left in the site, and the stinger as well if it is still there.
You should feel better soon!!
Hang in there :=)

Answer 3

Rub an aspirin on the sting. "Rubbing a wet aspirin on the area where you were stung can help neutralize some of the inflammatory agents in the venom," says Herbert Luscombe, M.D., professor emeritus of dermatology at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and senior attending dermatologist at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, both in Philadelphia. If you are allergic or sensitive to aspirin taken by mouth, though, you shouldn't try rubbing it on your skin.

Get tender relief with meat tenderizer. "Make a paste with meat tenderizer and water and apply it to the sting," says Philip Koehler, Ph.D., an entomologist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Laboratory at the University of Florida in Gainesville. "The reason meat tenderizer works is because insect bites and stings are made up of protein--and meat tenderizer breaks down this protein." Use Adolph's, McCormick or another product that contains papain--the active venom-busting ingredient.
Try baking soda. Some doctors say baking soda can help ease bee sting pain. Claude Frazier, M.D., an allergist in Asheville, North Carolina, recommends applying a paste of baking soda and water directly on the sting for 15 or 20 minutes.

Kill the sting with Sting-Kill. Another towelette product that works well is called Sting-Kill. "This product is sold at some pharmacies and at beekeeper supply stores, and I'm told it's very effective," says Dr. Yunginger. Wonder where to find such a store? Call a local beekeeper and ask where you can purchase Sting-Kill; there are beekeeper supply stores in most metropolitan areas.

Wipe out the pain with ammonia. Sometimes dabbing some household ammonia on the sting also does the trick, says Dr. Luscombe. In fact, ammonia is a key ingredient in a product called After Bite, which is sold over the counter and comes in convenient towelettes that you rub on the sting.

Hopefully something here will help you.......if not please see a doctor as soon as possible

Howdy, Try This:
clean with soap and warm water,apply ice pack or cold compress to the bite to prevent swelling or aloevera or calimine lotion to bite for inflamation and pain-itching! Try meat tenderizer and a few drops of water, rub into bite, leave on five minutes or so,wash it off. Dosame thing with baking soda and water,five minutes-wash off! Take an oatmeal bathto reduce itching,burning-pour half a cup ofoatmeal into your bath If swelling gets real bad, try Benadyrl physical problems getting worse go to emergency room right away! Do not bandage the sting, keep it clean for quicker healing,leave it exposed to the air to prevent infection! Prevention: Stay away from sweet-smelling products,ie; perfumes, hairspray,lotions trashcans and foodstands ,going barefoot, stuff like that! Hope that info helps!

Answer 5

Have you removed the stinger? This is very important because the stinger is what causes a lot of pain. If you can get help from someone who can get a good look at it. You don't want the stinger broken under your skin. Tweezers will probably do it. I have also seen someone slide a credit card sideways at the site of the stinger and drag it out. When the stinger is out, mix baking soda and water in a bowl. Should be thick enough to stick to your skin. Apply about a teaspoon to the sting. This will draw out the venom.

Answer 6

The barb is still probably in your skin. Get a magnifying lens and try to look for it and get it out.

Answer 7

Ice, Benadryl, go to the doctor.

Answer 8

Put ice on it.
