If you don’t have baking soda, wet the affected area and rub it with an uncoated aspirin; the aspirin will help control swelling, pain, and inflammation.
Again, please don't use aspirin in any manner on a child. Reye's syndrome is rare, but very very bad. It can occur as a result of any form of aspirin exposure -- even topical. Reye's syndrome is usually associated with a viral syndrome, but there is way to know that a bee-stung child is not also brewing a cold.
