Hello there,
The site of the bite may have an underlying nerve which would be compressed by the mild swelling around the bite. It is not anything to worry about.
Give your brother Levo-cet twice a day and also a multivitamin containing pyridoxine(Vitamin b6). Both of these are available over the counter and would relieve his symptoms.
Thank you for the query,
