Suggest Treatment To Cure Insect Bite During Pregnancy

Hello Dr, I am 21 weeks pregnant. Had a insect bite yesterday, and the area now is red, itchy, painful and swollen. There is a discomfort in my entire arm. Is there anything I should worry about, and what can I do to subside this symptom. Thank you. P

Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
You can take tab levocetrizine 5 mg for itching.
Apply calamine lotion for the area to soothe the swelling.
Thanks
