I live in northern Indiana. One hour ago I picked up a handful of leave in an outdoor stairwell and was bitten on my index finger by something I never saw. It felt like a bee sting with a small amount of bleeding. I treated it right away with hydrogen peroxide but I m concerned. The pain is less now. Not much swelling. Still aching.
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctori understand your concern. Most of the people with bee sting will have localized reaction to a bee sting. In the normal reaction to a bee sting, the skin will be reddened and painful. Swelling and/or itching may also occur, but the pain usually disappears over a few hours. So, i would advise you to 1.apply ice packs over the bite area2. Clean the area with soap and water, then apply HY Chat Doctor. Take antihistamines like chlorpheniramine male ate for itching and painkillers like ibuprofen. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
