Bee sting on eyelid
My mother has a bee or some other insect stung on the left eyes lid. it is swelling and a watery bag has formed below her eye. It is very uncomfortable and itchy. I am not sure whether to show to an eye specialist or a dermatologist. We had taken antibiotics for a weeks time prescribed by a general physician, the swelling went off for some time but now after stopping the medicine it has started again. Please suggest.
