Hi
Following the insect bite,an allergic reaction has developed.Kindly clean the area with soap or antiseptic solution.Antihistamines and steroids need to be taken to reduce hypersensitivity.
Injectable antihistamine can also be beneficial. Kindly do not poke the swelling or try to drain fluid which can lead to infections.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
