Suggest Remedies For An Insect Bite On Ankle

Hi, my boyfriend got stung on ankle multiple times two days ago. We iced it and put cream on it but swelling is not going down. Yesterday it grew a clearish bubble or blister and now theres a couple more. Is there anything else we can do or does he need to go to dr.?

Hello,

You can take an oral antihoistaminic like Avil at night. Keep ther limb elevated, apply ice and don't puncture the blister. It will improve shortly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
