A6-month-old has been stung on the tongue after putting a bottle in his mouth that had a bee on the nipple. in comparison to the same injury in an adult, why would the emt be more concerned with this child?

Bee sting in a child is really a concern than with the adult because this would cause anaphylaxis, which is a fatal reaction of severe allergy. The effects are swelling, sweating, and pain, difficulty in breathing, dizziness and shock. In this life-threatening scenario, infant really needs immediate care for their immune system and other body organs are not yet fully develop to fight for the allergic reaction.
