So remember Eve's bee sting?

MelissaSue81 · July 2010

It was LAST sunday that she got stung.. It doesn't really seem to be bothering her and I honestly hadn't noticed it all week.. but yesterday DH pointed out to me that its still pretty red and swollen.. and it still is this morning..

should I take her to the Dr if it still doesn't look better tomorrow? I am afraid I didn't get the stinger all the way out or something... but like I said.. it doesn't bother her a bit..kids are SO tough.. her little knees are all scraped up and that doesn't seem to bother her either.. my poor girl.

I would definitely call the dr. and see what they say. It seems pretty unusual for it to still be swollen a whole week later.

I'd probably call the doctor just because it's been an entire week. I remember my Mom making us soak the bee sting in epsom salt water- have you tried soaking it? Will she let you soak it? That might draw out the stinger if it's still in there.

Ya I would call. pp is right that the stinger may be inside still. They may have you do a soak to get it out or use a drawing salve like ichthammol to bring it out. But they would be able to tell if it is infected also. GL!
