Suggest Remedy For Swelling, Itching And Tingling On Wrist From Mosquito Bite

I have a mosquito bite which I got yesterday but it swelled up when I got up. It s big and on my wrist, there s also a red streak from my wrist up to the crease of my arm. It s itchy and tingling and hot. Doctor prescribed antibiotics but I don t know if I should take it. I took Claritin but no help and put on tricalm but it has become worse. Cortisone and steroid creams make my bites worse as well. Please help I am so miserable right now.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Mosquito bite can also do infection and irritation with the sting they can produce allergic reaction along with the saliva.

Because of which you are having these feeling.I would suggest you to take antibiiotics and anti allergic like fexofenadine 120 mg od.

You can take Tab CPM in the night and apply anti allergic mixed with antibiotic cream locally 3 times a day. It will take at least 3 week to come to normal.

Thank you.
