Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I've been bitten by an unidentified bug and have not been feeling well. I'm achy all over and feel exhausted. I want to know if I should be concerned. The bite (on my thigh) is actually several small red dots that do not have any discernable pattern- but they are red and very itchy. There seems to be anywhere from 7-10 individual bumps.
Hello.The usual symptoms of an insect bite are local: swelling, redness, itching ... When the person does not feel well and is exhausted,it is necessary to perform a blood test to rule out infection-bacteria or virus-transmitted by the insect. Go to your doctor as soon as possible. I wish you good health. (If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
