General & Family Physician,  's  Response
well if the swelling is due to bite of any insects like bee than it may relieved in some hours and also relived from anti histamine like cetrizine,,,,, the swelling and reaction due to insect bite is depends on immune system of body. but all the reaction is only temporary and not be lone lasting so to compare with previous bite is not valid. for newer and again swelling, recent history of any bite should be there, only than it is related to immune system. there may be other causes of forehead swelling like any injury/troma etc. go for xray,,if u had any history of injury,,,
