How To Relieve Insect Bite Sore?

I was bit by something, went to Doctor on Monday and was put on Bactrim. The area is on the back of my upper leg. It is red (less than before but still red) and the area surrounding it is very hard. It is still quite sore is there anything I can do to relieve the pressure/pain? This morning it was leaking a yellowish bloody fluid; not much though
