Suggest Remedy For Itchy Swollen Red Bites On Leg
My baby has 2 bites on her right calf and inner ankle. They appeared yesterday and today they seem bigger and more inflamed. They itch and the larger welt type one on her ankle looks like a big mesqito bite. The one on the back of her calf was a small red dot yesterday today its swollen, red, and itchy with a slight yellowing around it. I m wondering if I should watch them til tomorrow or take her now to have them checked.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some poisonous insect bite producing allergic rash on the part.
Nothing to worry, give her syrup benadryl 2-3 times a day.
Apply Vaseline or triple action cream.
If there is no improvement then consult your doctor and get examined.
