Should someone with a bee sting be concerned about future stings and anaphylaxis?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is an allergic reaction type 1. I suggest you do a blood test for IgE (immunoglobulin E) levels. It is possible the second episode becomes worst but it is not necessary to be anaphylactic like swelling lips, breathing difficulty, and generalized edema. Follow up after having serum IgE level.
