Bee stings are one of the common accidents in life. People who are stung often wonder what to apply to a bee sting to heal quickly, how long does it take for a bee sting to swell, and how to stop the swelling. However, treating a bee sting is not that simple. After the wound is treated, people who are stung by bees also need to be monitored and detected for other acute complications because they can be life-threatening.

In daily life, being stung by bees is quite common in both adults and children. Common types of bees are: honey bees, yellow jackets, hornets, bumblebees... The difference between honey bees and other types of bees is that when the stinger of a honey bee is broken, the broken part contains venom sacs retained in the patient's skin, while other types of bees can pull out and sting again and again.
