I May Have Been Bitten By A Mosquito Saturday Evening
I may have been bitten by a mosquito Saturday evening on the lower right leg. Leg is swollen around the ankle & foot and leg looks red, feels tight. What can I do until I can call the doctor in the morning?
It doesn't itch particularly, but feels warm to the touch; warmer than other area of the leg. I picked up some OTC triple antibiotic cream with pain killer. Will that help? I have reacted to mosquito bites in the past, but it has been a long time (at least 30 years or more).
