my leg is still pretty swollen, so I figured I'd ask since I'm at a loss here :/

Does anyone happen to know if it’s safe to apply Polar gel—you know, that cooling stuff you use for sore feet—to a bee sting? I got stung yesterday and ended up having to head over to the ER. They gave me an injection and prescribed a specific ointment, but I just can't make it out to the pharmacy right now 😁 so I was wondering if using the Polar gel I have lying around the house might actually help with the swelling...
