Hi dear and thanks for your query.
Ant bites tend to resolve without intervention. In most cases, the treatment for black ant bites is aimed at alleviating the itching and pain.

There are many home remedies that one can make use of for treating black ants bites. First wash off the bitten area using water and soap. Make a thick consistent paste using vinegar and baking soda. Rub this on the bite to avert swelling and itch. Avoid as much as possible scratching the area to avoid breaking the skin which could cause the bite to get infected.
Use Paracetamol for pain reliefe, and also if the itching doesnt stop yuo can use an local antihistaminik a few days.
Hope the advice was usefull.
