What Causes Ankle Swelling With Redness On The Shin?
My wife got some insect bites, maybe 4 days ago. She is very allergic to insect bites. Her shins are all red, and her right ankle is swollen. It is already 11:00 PM. Should she get an early morning doctor appointment or go to the emergency room tonight?

Hi,
These are mild insect bite reaction and she can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief. No need to go to the ER and the symptoms will settle in a couple of days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
