Mrs. Leonard's child has a severe allergic reaction. Based on the description we can infer that Mrs. Leonard's child has a severe allergic reaction. We can advice Mrs. Leonard to immediately bring the child to the hospital so that anti - allergic such as advil, motrin or Epi-pen could be given to the child. We can also instruct her to place ice at the area where the bee has stung.
