Summer Allergies To treat insect stings or bites: For a severe allergic reaction, inject epinephrine (adrenaline) if you have it, and call 911 immediately. For ordinary reactions, apply ice to the bite area to reduce swelling. For stings you should remove the stinger. Try a pain reliever, such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil, Motrin (ibuprofen). Use a topical cream, such as hydrocortisone, to ease pain and itching. Calamine creams also help with itching. Use oral antihistamines (Allegra, Benadryl, Claritin, or Zyrtec) for itching.
