How To Deal With The Ant Bites?
My granddaughter got in an ant bed and got about 30 bits on her right leg on Wednesday. They seem to be drying up, but today we noticed that she is not wanting to walk on her leg and it is giving out a little. Could that have anything to do with the ant bites?

If there is no redness and erythema in the bitten limb then there is no cause for concern.
Local application of Calamine lotion and antihistaminic like Cetrizine will be helpful.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
