What first aid should be given when bee stings n why
Answers
• Remove any stingers immediately. Some experts recommend scraping out the stinger with a credit card.
• Applying ice to the site may provide some mild relief. Apply ice for 20 minutes once every hour as needed. Wrap the ice in a towel or keep a cloth between the ice and skin to keep from freezing the skin.
• Taking an antihistamine such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or a nonsedating one such as loratadine (Claritin) will help with itching and swelling.
• Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin)for pain relief as needed.
• Wash the sting site with soap and water. Placing hydrocortisone cream on the sting can help relieve redness, itching, and swelling.
• If it's been more than 10 years since your last tetanus booster, get a booster within the next few days.
• Most insect stings require no additional medical care.
