How To Reduce Swelling In Face/eyes/lips Caused Due To Mosquito Bite?
I am allergic to mosquitoes; I was recently bitten multiple times, which took several days for the swelling to go down (localized and general facial). It has not quite gone away and I was again bitten several times. My face is swelling-general face and eyes like before, but my lips are swelling also. No respiratory problems.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Oral anti histamines would help to reduce your allergic response but if you still have symptoms with the use of the antihistamines then you may want to visit your doctor because you may need oral steroids as well.
You would need to consider the use of mosquito repellents to prevent further bites.
I hope this helps
