Bee/wasp sting
I had a bee/wasp sting on my left pinky early morning yesterday, went to the ER due to pain, redness and swelling. I was given an IV drip with some medication inside to a reduce the allergies.
I have a localized swelling on my left hand and swelling has increased over time that I can't see my knuckles and feel pressure when I flex my fingers.
Im on augmentin and panadeine for medication.
Is it normal for swelling to increase for the next few days?

I can understand your concern. .swelling will increase initially and gradually decrease.
