Suggest Remedy For Insect Bite
Hello,
I ama 54 year old woman of average height and weight with no major medical issues other than recurring vestibulopathy (cause is unknown, but has been thoroughly investigated). I was bitten by a very tiny (about as long as a baby fingernail and as thick around as about 10 pieces of thread put together) grey worm a week ago. The bite was very painful when it occured and hurt for about an hour afterward. Now the bite is itchy and is about the size of a quarter. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hi,
from history it seems that there might be having local allergic reaction due to poisonous bite.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine, Levo-cetrizine or Benadryl medicine for 3-5 days.
Apply triple action locally.
Ok and take care.
