Hi!
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com

I have read your query and can well understand your concern.

Yes a bite may lead to an allergic reaction.

You can take Avil for the same and can apply calamine lotion for instant relief.

If situation worsens, an injection of effcorline will be very helpful.

Hope this helps!

You can revert back with any other query.
