What Causes Facial Swelling And Arm Pain After An Insect Bite?
Hello last Sunday night I was admitted to the hospital for bad insect bite on my face. It swelled my cheek up. They gave me antibiotics via IV in my right arm at the bend of my elbow. Now my arm is slightly swollen and sore not at the sight of the iv but next to it. What should I do to relieve the pain. I m still on antibiotics by mouth
