ALLERGIC RESPONSE AND INFLAMMATION
Detailed Answer:
hello and welcome,
I read your history carefully
please continue the antibiotics course and complete it fully.
tetanus vaccination should also be done.
Change your clothe in which you got bit and clean yourself with lukewarm soap water.
Anti allergic meds like Benadryl be taken to reduce swelling
IF SWELLING PERSISTS OR NEW SYMPTOMS LIKE SHORTNESS OF BREATH, FLUSHING OR VOICE CHANGES APPEAR, THEN PLEASE GO TO THE E.R IMMEDIATELY FOR FURTHER WORKUP AND TREATMENT.
let me know if you have any query.
if not, then please close the discussion and rate the answer.
take care
thanks.
