What Causes Old Insect Bites To Get Inflamed And Ooze Liquid?

My daughter is 6 years old and received 5 insect bites nearly 3 months ago. These needed treatment in hospital with intravenous antibiotics and she was on oral antibiotics for 1 month. However the over the last 2 weeks, 2 of the bites have become inflammed again, she has been on another course of antibiotics for a week but the bites have now started oozing a clear/yellow liquid. They are terribly itchy. Please help.

Hi,
It seems that antibiotics medicine alone is not enough for this type of infection.
She might require proper cleaning of site with antiseptic lotion and then proper dressing done by a doctor.
She might require one course of antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl medicine.
Ok and take care.
