How To Treat Infection Due To Mosquito Bite?
I got bit on the eyelid by a mosquito two weeks ago. Went to doctor because eyelid was swollen shut. It was infected and they gave me antibiotics and steroidal medicine and antihistamine. It is much better after going through the antibiotics. But now it s been itching again (not swollen) and there is a pustule still there on the corner of my upper eyelid just above the eyelash line. What should I do?
