Itching On Neck And Face. Swelling On Arm, Ear, Cheek. Allergic Reaction?

Hi, I woke up one morning itching the left side of my neck and face. I later noticed that I had several large swelling in the are. I was concerned it may have been bed bug. However I slept in a different bed the next night but still notice additional swelling appearing on the same side including on my arm ear and on my cheek. Could this be an allergic reaction?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

your history suggest you might have been bitten by some bug (swelling).Since several large swelling it may be bed bug. it has caused itching and swelling due to allergy. definately there is treatment for it, use only clothes washed with hot water, and also blankets, dry it under sun, clean room, close all crevices and clean empty places. Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
Dr. Lohit

Hi,
It seems that this problem might be due to some insect bite or some systemic allergy.
Nothing to worry, take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl tablet as and when required.
Ok and take care.
