Suggest Treatment To Be Taken After Bitten By An Insect

My wife was bitten by an insect this evening. The result is swollen veins in her shin and a feeling of a bruise all around the swollen area (~6-7 square inches). She was bitten 4-5 times by mosquitos on her legs and arms w/o similar effect. What might this be? How best to provide first aid?

Hello,

So your wife is severely allergic to insect bites. She requires anti-allergic treatment so that this does not spread and cause the secondary infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Loveleen Sharma, General & Family Physician
