<s>[INST] Hello, about 3 weeks ago I was stung in the forehead by a honeybee and my entire face swelled for days. Received cortisone and antihistamine shot the next day. Eventually it all settled. A few days ago I was somehow stung by (I think) mosquitoes on my legs (8 stings) and I reacted terribly with swelling, itching and wheals... it is getting slowly better, but a friend told me that reaction may have been caused by the cortisone shot I had receive a few weeks ago. Does that make sense? Thank you! Michele [/INST] Hello,Welcome to HCM,As you were stung by the honey bee it will causes localized reaction like swelling of the face and aother reactions.I would suggest washing the area with soap and water followed by application of ice over that area.You can apply a steroid cream like hydrocortisone or fluticasone cream two to three times, this will helps to resolve the redness and treat localised reaction and  inflammation.Atarax drops, 3 drops twice in a day for two to three daysThe aforementioned measures will help to improve the condition.Thank you. </s>
