It sounds like you’re pretty upset. I’m so sorry that happened to you. The immediate first thing to do is put an ice pack on the affected area to stop any further swelling.

What else should I do?
user
You could try to make the swelling go down with some antihistamine pills, too.

Should I do anything onto the sting site other than use ice?
user
It’s best to just not touch it.  If you think the ice pack is cold enough, you could maybe also use an alcohol pad to help remove the stinger and also prevent any infection.

How long should I leave ice on it?
