I got stung by a bee yesterday on my upper left back leg, within seconds I started feeling faint and sweating, nauseous. Now I m running a low grade fever and my left hand is swelled? do you think this is all from the bee sting? I m not sweating, but still not feeling normal
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The swelling should typically involve the area that was stung. You were stung on the left leg, the swelling should be in this area not the left hand, unless another bite/sting was received in this area. The nausea, fever, sweating are typically of an allergic/ inflammatory response. The use of an antihistamine and anti-inflammatory medication would be helpful. These are both over the counter, anti-inflammatory medication includes Catalan, naproxen, ibuprofen etc. I hope this helps
