What’s The Diagnosis #17

A 26-year old female seeks your care for a bee sting to her thumb that occurred just prior to her arrival. She states that she reached into her purse looking for her car keys and felt a sting to the pad of her thumb. She came directly to the emergency department after the incident because she is allergic to bees … and she always carries an EpiPen with her (shown below). She’s currently having moderate pain in her thumb, but no other symptoms. What’s your diagnosis and how would you treat this patient? And take a guess how much it will cost the patient to refill her EpiPen.
