Hello,

My advise to you is consult your doctor as early as possible.

You will need medications and detailed examination of bite site to see extent and type of inflammation.

It would be useful, if you can remember bite is from which insect or animal. It will help your doctor to plan your treatment.

You will be required to take anti allergic, analgesic, anti inflammatory medications and may be a course of antibiotics.

If untreated your pain may increase and if swelling does not subside for a long duration may lead to tissue damage.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

Thank You,
Dr. Narasimha G L
