My son has a bee sting

2017-06-08 04:27:35
My 34 year old son just got stung by a bee. He has asthma and I was wondering how long does it usually take to see symptoms if a person is having a reaction to the sting? It looks fine now. Would it swell up right away or could that happen hours from now?
