I want to know what can I buy over the counter for the bee sting. She was stung twice. Onces in the mouth and onces on the side. I only want Positive feedback Nothing negative. I tried putting a cold wash cloth on the side and mouth. I also gave her some cold ice water. Her mouth is swollen up. If there is someone that doesn't mind telling me what I should do for my dog that were stung please feel free to leave me a comment or message. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!

Only God can Judge me!!

She needs to see a vet and get medical help. Please take her to one or to an emergency animal clinic.

Bee stings are tricky ones, there's not much a vet can do for a standard sting.
As soon as the sting happens you can give antihistamine to help counteract the swelling, but once swelling has started it renders them useless.

As long as the swelling is not so severe it inhibits the dogs breathing or the swelling is not near the dogs throat then it's just a case of wait it out.
If the swelling does not seem to reduce after 1-2 hours or gets worse then it's off to the vet.

Last year one of mine got bitten on the side of the face by a bullant, he whimpered and sulked, there was a lot of swelling, but after about an hour the swelling started going down and by the next morning he was back to normal.
It can make them feel pretty lousy, but you know your dog better than anyone, if he seems to be in a great deal of pain, overly lethargic or vomiting excessively then it's vet time.
