Give him some Benadryl, a dose of Zyrtec, put ice on the sting, and wash and keep it clean. Get a magnifying glass and see if there is a stinger still in the skin. If so, it should be removed.
Ice, hydrocortisone cream, Benadryl. Go to ER if difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Ice, Benadryl by mouth and maybe some Tylenol
