Answers:
go to your local drug store and obtain some Benedryl (you can find it in the allergy section or ask the pharmacist)!. Benedryl is an antihistamine and will ease the pain!.
Just remember that your Benedryl is dosed for humans weighing on average 150 pounds!.!.!. your Chihuahua weighs MAYBE 10 pounds!.!.!. if you can get the capsule form of the Benedryl (I prefer that)!.!.!. just break open the capsule and put about 5 little pellets on a treat for her!. That should help her deal with the pain a little better and it will make her a little drowsy too (so she can rest and heal)!.
Check the paw!.!.!. make sure that stinger is out!. They will stay in and pulsate for several minutes pushing more histamines into the paw and this causes general pain and discomfort!.
I hope she gets better soon!.!.!. I don't like to see animals suffer either!.!.!.!. (unless they're wife beaters or child molesters!.!.!. then I'd like to release a swarm of yellow jackets on them)!.

:( poor girl!.
All you can really do is what you do for any bee sting: Ice it and try to get her to keep it elevated if she will!.
Pat her back and comfort her!.!.maybe bring her some water!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
