UConn Dermatology exercise 3

Upon further questioning KK reports some pain at the site only. KK was wearing bright colored clothing and scented lotion/perfume when she was stung by a honey bee in the field. She denies dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. This is her first bee sting and denies any previous family history of significant reaction to bee stings.  Medication will provide relief of itching and irritation caused by insect bites. The medication should help relieve both pain and itching associated with the sting. It does not commonly cause adverse drug reactions although contact dermatitis can occur.

Should the patient develop hives, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
