The bee sting

I'm feeling better in myself today, but my face is worse. I have swelling above my eye as well now so I can barely open it. Taking antihistamine tablets and using antihistamine cream so don't think there's much else I can do.

if you concerned pop into a local pharmacy, they might have good advice.

Hello its me again. I still think you should seek medical advice. Sometimes you can get bites that can get nnfected & as you know with conditions like ours we are prone to infections. I know that yours is a bee sting but maybe the same has happened. Best of luck.

I've seen GP today. Now have stronger antihistamine than I was taking, plus antibiotic as a precaution, although no obvious infection. Also increased steroids for 3 days.

Feeling pretty fed up as not able to do much without my specs!
