What to do if you get stung by a bumblebee

After being stung by a bumblebee, different methods of treatment are needed depending on the clinical manifestations, including removal of the stinger, anti-allergy treatment and anti-shock treatment, etc. 1. Remove the stinger. After being stung by a hornet, the stinger may remain in the body. Removing the stinger in time can reduce the irritation of the toxin. Since the wasp toxin is acidic in nature, you can wash the injured area with alkaline solution such as soap and water, soda, etc. to eliminate the toxin as much as possible. 2. Anti-allergy treatment. After stung by hornet, local allergic symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain and itching will appear in different degrees. Anti-allergic drugs can be given to improve the local skin symptoms, such as oral loratadine tablets, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets and so on. Topical hydrocortisone butyrate ointment can also be used. 3. Anti-shock treatment. Some people will have severe anaphylactic shock after being stung by hornets, in this case, we must give anti-shock drug treatment in time, such as intramuscular injection of epinephrine injection, intravenous dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection and so on. Due to the different physical condition of individuals, the clinical manifestations may also vary to a certain extent, and the specific situation should be consulted by a doctor and treated under the doctor’s guidance.
