Question : Developed burning pain on the side of my foot up by big toe, wasn't sure if it was a bug bite as I was in the grass. The pain and burning was coming and lasting about 10 seconds, I could not sleep. After 3 days the pain is much less. I am going to doctor today and wanted to ask the right questions.

Probably no more urgent intervention necessary

Detailed Answer:
Dear Patient,

if the pain is much less there is very likely no more urgent intervention necessary. You may Show the doc the toe and ask him if he thinks that any more antiallergic Treatment is necessary. Other than that it will most likely cure itself within approx. one week,

best regards
