Suggest Remedy For Itching And Stinging Sensation On Ankle Post Insect Bite
Yesterday, I was bitten a couple of times by an insect on my ankle. My anle has swollen up, it has been very itchy, and Iam experiencing pins and needles in my entire foot. I ve had an antihistamine as the itching was severe in the night, they don t seem to have done anything. It s the itching and pins and needles that I am concerned about.

For itching and stinging sensation on ankle post insect bite you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for severe itching. You can take fluconazole 150 mg once daily for at-least 5 days or use candid-b powder or betnovate-c cream for local application. Take combiflam or ibugesic-plus for swelling and inflammation.
