IF STUNG ON THE NOSE, MOUTH OR AROUND THE HEAD WATCH CAREFULLY MAKE SURE ANY SWELLING DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH BREATHING OR SWALLOWING IF SWELLING INCREASES DRAMATICALLY JUST A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE STING SEE (((( VET IMMEDIATELY ))))). THEY MAY SUGGEST CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BENEDRYLE POSSIBLY STERIODS DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE STING AND REACTION THEY HAVE TO THE STING.
