My daughter's elbow is warm and swollen after a sting, what should I do?

If your daughter's elbow is warm and swollen after a sting, you can apply a hydrocortisone cream to the affected area. Make sure the skin is not broken before applying the cream. You can also use a fragrance-free moisturizing cream like Aveeno as needed to help with itching. Applying ice for 15 minutes can also help with swelling. If the redness extends beyond a certain point, it's best to consult a doctor as a precaution.
