I have allergies to bee stings and last week I got stung by one. First time I  years!  I made a paste with baking soda and water and let the dry up on the sting, tool benadryl immediately after it happened. The stinger was still in so we took it out before we did anything. The nurse said it's okay ands long as your reaction isn't super super terrible and send you into anaphylaxis shock or get infected. To take benadryl as needed or til your symptoms go away. And to soak it in cool water. I used a look warm Epsom salt soak and then would put an ice pack on the site. It sting was better in 4 days and that was with working in my boots on it the 2nd day after I got stung. I also used the allegra anti itch cream. Helped tons!

I am the same way... I am so.allergic I scar from them after they are.gone. I take benadryl and run a spoon under really hot water and press the back to your.bite... It helps kill the itch and.break up the allergy going on under your skin making it easier for your body to.fight. If you are anti taking pills benadryl also makes a cream!
