Girl in critical condition after being stung by a bee

Tay Ninh: An 8-year-old girl followed her family to the fields to play and was stung nearly 20 times by bumblebees, leading to severe anaphylactic shock and critical condition.

On June 21, a representative of Xuyen A Tay Ninh General Hospital said the child was admitted to the hospital with swollen eyelids, fever, fatigue and difficulty breathing, with nearly 20 swollen spots on his body.

The family said that after being stung by a bee, the child had red rashes all over his body, had difficulty breathing and fainted. He was taken to a nearby medical station. However, his condition became critical, his blood pressure dropped, and he was transferred to Xuyen A Tay Ninh General Hospital.

Here, test results showed that the child was in severe anaphylactic shock, and the doctor performed intensive resuscitation. After a day, her vital signs were more stable, with less fatigue and difficulty breathing. Currently, the girl's health has stabilized and she has been discharged from the hospital.

Doctor Huynh Trung Hieu, a pediatrician, said that recently this place has continuously received many cases of children being stung by bees and having to be hospitalized, some of them in critical condition. Currently, summer is the time when bees return to the garden to build nests and forage, and it is also the time when children are on vacation from school and often go out to the garden and fields to play.

Anaphylactic shock can occur at any time and the consequences are extremely dangerous if not treated promptly. Therefore, as soon as a child is stung by a bee, it is necessary to quickly move the victim to a safe area. Take the child to the hospital if there are any of the following signs: multiple stings, fever, fatigue, difficulty breathing, rash, red skin or feeling dizzy, lightheaded...
