Question:
Can you take a pain reliever for a bee sting?
something like Advil? if not, what is the fastest way to relieve swelling and pain... i've got a party to throw in two hours!
Answers:
Best things for bee stings can be found around your house... Toothpaste and Ice! Take the pain and swelling down with the ice, then put toothpaste on it.
The ice numbs the pain and gives the toothpaste time to work, the toothpaste draws out the toxins from the bees and relieves pain, takes about 10 minutes to work though.
If you get Ice on the sting fast enough the toxins are unable to spread through your bloodstream and the toothpaste will be able to get most of the toxins out...
Last time I got stung I got ice on it right away then put toothpaste on with a band-aid and the sting was mostly cured in about 5 hours, there was still a little bump, but it didn't hurt or itch anymore.
