Suggest Remedies For Insect Bites
I am trying to look up insect bites. I have only been able to identify the one closest to it as a fire ant bite...but I live in N.H. and did not think they where here. I have several and on day two they are hugh , red hot and antihistamine is not helping?

Hi
If antihistaminic are not helping take a short course of oral steroid like tablet prednisolone 20 mg once daily for 5-7 days and apply cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily.
This should resolve the insect bites.
