Suggestion Of Cure For Bug Bite In The Upper Arm
I has what appears to be a bug bite on my upper left arm. My arm is swollen and painful and there are red lines going from the bite down my arm. over the past 2 days i've experiences nausea, fatigue, sore throat with swollen lymph nodes, and an excruciating earache. Please tell me if this is worth going to an ER.

Thank you for asking!
Bug bite with swollen area and redness is of course worth going to ER. You never know what the bug was and what did you get injected with. SImple antihistamines and steroids injections would retain the inflammation. ALso it is better to be on the safe road. Rest you need an otorhinolaryngologist for the ear aches and sore throats.So get one. it will need antibiotics and some work up.
