Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Call 911 and inject epinephrine right away if the person has: Any of these symptoms or a history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), even if there are no symptoms: Trouble breathing or wheezing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Call 911 or other emergency services if you’re having a serious reaction to a bee sting that suggests anaphylaxis, even if it’s just one or two signs or symptoms. If you were prescribed an emergency epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen, Auvi-Q, others), use it right away as your doctor directed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Doctors often prescribe an epinephrine auto-injector device (Adrenaclick® Auvi-Q® and EpiPen®) for people with an allergy to bee stings (Picture 3). The auto-injector contains a pre-measured dose of medicine that can stop the systemic reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -First aid for bee stings Remove the sting by sliding or scraping your fingernail across it, rather than pulling at it. Wash the area and apply a cold pack to reduce the swelling. If there is significant pain and swelling, over-the-counter pain medication (such as paracetamol) or an antihistamine may give some relief.
