Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, When bees sting a person they will inject venom through their stinger into the skin of the victim. People stung by bees will have an allergic reaction to the sting and in severe cases it will cause anaphylaxis. For any Bee sting, following measures should be followed1. If the stinger is present remove it immediately. 2. Apply ice or cold packs to the area to reduce the bodies inflammatory reaction.3. Wash the area with soap and water4. Take antihistamine such as Ben Chat Doctor. 5. Pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also provide relief of symptom. Aforementioned measures should follow whenever there is a bee sting. Thank you
