Disease Definition:
Bee stings in most cases are just annoying, and pain and swelling go away quickly. In most cases, to ease the pain of bee stings, home treatment is all that’s necessary. However, someone may have a more serious reaction that requires emergency treatment if they get stung multiple times or if they're allergic to bee stings.
A person should learn how to treat them if they get stung, and take the steps necessary to avoid them.

Causes: Bee sting venom causes pain and swelling around the sting area because it contains proteins that affect skin cells and the immune system. Bee venom can trigger a more serious immune system reaction in people with a bee sting allergy. |
Complications
Complications:
Although bee stings have possible complications, but they generally don’t cause any serious problems and within a few hours, symptoms get better. |
Treatments:
Even though home treatment is enough for most bee stings, however, a person might need to see their doctor or go to the emergency room in case they have more serious reactions. An allergic reaction or multiple stings could be a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. |
Prognosis: Not available |
