i just got stung on the lower lip by a bee when i was running back home . What is the first thing that i should do to stop the swelling ?
Answer:
take a dose of Benadryl. Then apply some meat tenderizer to your lip (add a dab of water to make it into a paste) (don't swallow it - ugh). Then ice the area (not directly - use a washcloth to wrap it). If you have breathing problems (allergic reaction), call 911.
It is going to swell.Put meat tenderizer on it and take some benedryl.If you start to feel dizzy, light headed, can't breathe, or get hives, go to the nearest emergency room, don't wait for an ambulance. Good luck!
My four year old nephew got stung by a bee also on his lip a week ago. The only thing we did was put ice on it, and two days later he got stung again on his hand and didn't put anything on it. We just gave him tylenol. He didn't have any swelling or anything.
Sting-kill works immediately if you can find it, if not use a paste made of meat tenderizer and a little water.
This is going to sound strange, but one rememdy is to hold a penny on your lip, the copper in the penny will help with the soreness and swelling.
Apply toothpaste on it. It will help with the swelling and may even draw the stinger out if it is still in your lip. Dampened tobacco works too, but if you are against smoking, then the toothpaste is probably your best bet!
