At-home remedies for bee stings?

[KikiDeAnime]

Our 8 week old(9 wks tomorrow) puppy got stung by a bee. She's in the house with me on the couch. She hasn't become weak yet so we're hoping that's a good sign that it isn't a major thing to worry about. She ate earlier and keeps drinking water whenever I give her some.

My parents are currently at the hospital but they're going to pick up benadryl for her on their way home.
What can I give/put on her until then to soothe it?

My mom always made a salve with cream of tartar with just enough water to hold it together and applied it directly to the sting site. Be advised, if your pup ingests this, it could give them the runs... so determine if the location of the sting is within reach of their tongue before applying or if you're able to fashion a bandage in such a way as to prevent them from getting it off. Always took the bite out of the sting for me.

We're not actually sure where she was stung but her face is a bit swollen. I keep trying to get photos to show her face but she won't sit still and wants to play with me.

Mmmmmm, she may be stung in her mouth too... if you didn't see where she got stung, how do you know what did the stinging?

The past few days they've been going after bees and one nearly ate one yesterday but I was able to stop it. Plus, our 8 yr old dog got stung a couple months ago and showed the same signs.

Benadryl is good!
Maybe she's learned something today; I hope so!
Always have Benadryl in your medicine chest...

We normally have it on the shelf but my dad misplaced it 2 months ago and we haven't seen it since.
