My son was playing outside and the next thing I know, he gets stung by a bee on his arm. What should I do for my bee sting?

Give him some Benadryl, a dose of Zyrtec, put ice on the sting, and wash and keep it clean. Get a magnifying glass and see if there is a stinger still in the skin. If so, it should be removed.

Ice, hydrocortisone cream, Benadryl. Go to ER if difficulty breathing or swallowing.
