How To Treat A Bee Sting In Scottsdale
Bee stings are an unfortunate part of life in Scottsdale, and with infestations running amok on properties, running into bees is nearly inevitable. For individuals who get stung by a bee, try to follow these steps:
- If possible, try to remove the stinger in its entirety. If the stinger is located below the skin’s surface, don’t attempt to.
- Wash the sting site with soap and water.
- Apply an ice pack or a cold compress to the affected area.
- Use a hydrocortisone cream to limit swelling, irritation, and itchiness.
- Take an over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen.
- Whatever happens, absolutely no scratching.
- Monitor yourself for symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, like swelling of the lips, eyes, and face, or muscle aches, nausea, fever, chills, and vomiting. If any of these persist, seek professional medical advice.
