my daughter is a bee keeper and has had several strong localized reactions to stings.  Yesterday she was stung by 1 bee near her eye, and had an immediate "feeling sick" with prickling sensations in her palms, groin and armpits, sick stomach and diarrhea. She removed the stinger, put cold pack and took 50 of Benadryl. Her entire R eye and upper face is swollen tight. She took another 50 benadryl at 3am because the swelling increased. She has an EPI pen. No respiratory symptoms, but I see that this last even was total body reaction. Is this considered severe, even without respiratory effect? Should she see an allergist for treatment. I know she has to give up beekeeping. but she LOVES it.
