Question:
Hello doctor,
A few years ago, I was stung by a bee on my head. Because it was so painful, I accidentally squeezed the sting site. At that time, I didn’t see a doctor or use any medication. Afterward, I noticed about 2-3 swollen lymph nodes under the skin at the back of my head. Could you please advise me on what to do when lymph nodes swell after a bee sting? Thank you for your consultation.

Hello,
Regarding your question, "What to do when lymph nodes swell after a bee sting?", the doctor’s response is as follows:
You should visit a major hospital to evaluate the nature of the swollen lymph nodes. Based on clinical examination and additional tests (such as blood tests, ultrasound, or lymph node biopsy), the specialist will determine the appropriate treatment plan if necessary.
If you still have concerns about swollen lymph nodes after a bee sting, you can visit a Vinmec Medical Center for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending your question to Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Best regards!
