Antihistamines and anti-inflammatory medications. You can use an antihistamine to relieve itching and an anti-inflammatory to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Corticosteroids are also a good option, but they should only be taken after consulting a doctor.
Precautions to avoid stings Avoid bright colors and perfumes: For bees, both brightly colored flowers and floral and sweet-smelling perfumes can be attractants.
Don’t leave food or garbage outside: Leaving food uncovered outside will attract wasps and significantly increase the likelihood of being stung.
