Just a huge hand. It is starting to spread down to his wrist, too.

We have done lavender and copaiba, benedryl, baking soda, and Epsom salts.
He has elevated it.
None of that has done anything!

What else can we try?
I'd post a picture if I could. It is unreal.

I would take him to urgent care. Sorry- probably not what you wanted to hear, but I would. That reaction is not normal and is probably allergic in nature and bee sting allergies can get serious (even if it isn't now). His throat and stuff may be fine now, but may not be in the future. And I don't know if they would give him an epi pen or not. And if he ever is stung again I would give him Benadryl immediately. Carry it in your purse or car at all times in case he is stung again.
