Playing in the field, a little girl was stung by a bumblebee and almost died.

Taking the medical history, the family said that after being stung by a bee, the child's whole body became red, had difficulty breathing and fainted. The family quickly took the child to a nearby medical station. The child's condition became critical, blood pressure could not be measured. After initial treatment, the child was quickly transferred to the emergency room at Xuyen A Tay Ninh General Hospital.

On June 21, Dr. Huynh Trung Hieu, a pediatrician at Xuyen A Tay Ninh General Hospital, said that patient PL was brought to the emergency room in a very critical condition, with red skin, swollen eyelids, fever, fatigue and difficulty breathing, and nearly 20 swollen spots on his body due to bee stings. Test results showed that the child was in severe anaphylactic shock.

After a day of intensive treatment, the patient's vital signs have stabilized, fatigue has decreased, and shortness of breath has decreased. Currently, the patient's health has completely recovered and he has been discharged from the hospital after 5 days of treatment.

According to Dr. Hieu, recently the department has continuously received many cases of children being stung by bees and having to be hospitalized for treatment, some cases with multiple stings causing very critical conditions, threatening their lives. In many cases, doctors had to resuscitate the children, actively treating them according to the anaphylactic shock protocol.

Anaphylactic shock can occur at any time and the consequences are extremely dangerous if not treated promptly. Therefore, as soon as you discover that your child has been stung by a bee, you need to quickly move the child to a safe area to avoid further stings. Take your child to the nearest medical facility immediately if there are any of the following signs: multiple stings, stings on the head, face, neck, accompanied by signs of rapidly spreading edema, fever, fatigue, difficulty breathing, itchy rash, red skin all over the body or feeling dizzy, lightheaded, etc.

"It's summer - the season when many types of ripe fruit attract bees to build nests and forage. It's also the time when children are off school so they often go to the garden and fields to play. Therefore, parents need to be careful, because with their playful, hyperactive actions and lack of awareness of danger, children can easily accidentally disturb beehives," Dr. Hieu warned.
