On Cold Medicine. Got Ant Bite. Developed Knee Pain And Red Spots On Feet. Safe Remedy?
Question: Summery
I had attacked by a bunch of ants on 03rd Feb 2013, I think that this ant ejecting formic acid while it bites with other side. By the time I was using some medicines to treat my cough and cold symptoms including antibiotic, then the next few days developed symptoms that little pain on left knee and both angles, then I found small red spots on my feet, little swelling and pane.
When I consult a doctor, He prescribed me a tablet named siptane to use twice and had a TT injection along with an oilment for external use.
After 2days I felt more pain, then I got ayurvedic treatment for next 5 days, but I did not get any improvement.
Again I was admitted in a hospital for 5 days. As per my request to discharge from hospital as soon as possible the doctor changed treatment from injection to tablets, I hope you can find the details from the copy of my discharge summery.
After discharge, I am feeling joints pane especially my knees and angles and still have some swelling. I have some doubts that it may some side effects of the tablet like Betnesol forte 1mg. that I used 4tablets per day since my discharge on 18th Feb 2013. Attaching some details for your reference.

Thank you for your query.
I am afraid none of your details have come up in your question.Take photographs of them and send them as attachments.
Betnesol given for a short duration does not do any harm.Since you had a serious allergic reaction they advised you with steroids.
Kindly send me your details for a better analysis

Hope this answers your query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
