Cleveland Clinic Children’s’ Post

If your child is stung by a bee, expect a few tears, as well as pain, itchiness, redness and swelling around the site of the sting. Symptoms often last for a day or two. It’s not unusual for signs of irritation to extend across a wider area, too. (A sting near an ankle can lead to swelling up the leg, for instance.)🐝 In rare cases, bee stings may lead to anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that demands immediate emergency treatment. If your child has allergies to other things (such as pollen and dust) or has asthma, it might be worth talking to your pediatrician about allergy testing during bee season.👩⚕️
