Bee sting in the mouth under tongue!
Hi.
My dad has just come in off the farm and he got a bee sting in his mouth. Its under his tongue. I have removed the stinger. He has had an antihistamine but is there anything that will stop the swelling and spreading of the venom? He is also saying he has a metallic feeling in his mouth and round his teeth.
Please any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

They may sound weird, but whenever me or any one i know has gotten stung, we removed the stinger (like you said) and then get an old(ish) penny and tape it/hold it to the area where it has been stung. He could hold it under the tounge for about 15 min. I have also heard these things but since it is in his mouth they may be hard...But here is a few
-rubb egg white on it
-smear a paste of Meat Tenderizer mixed with water over the sting
Bee venom is acidic. so: Make a paste with baking soda and water and apply it to the sting.
Those are things i have used but in 'regular stings'.
Whenever the sting hurts, ice it until it is numb, it takes away the pain and numbs it and stops the swelling for a while. Also, honey helps sooth the pain. Yet again this is also on 'regular' stings. Take some advil or tylonol to calm the pain. Sorry I couldn't help that much but i hope what i did say helped! :)
