Mosquito bites?!


Question:

Mosquito bites?

I have four mosquito bites on my left foot causing it to swell a lot. I can hardly walk. I miss walking... Is there something I can do about this?


Answers:

sounds like a nasty allergic reaction to the bites (i do this with ant bites)

use benadryl cream to the bites themselves. and take oral benadryl to help reduce the swelling too. take 1-2 of the 25mg tablets every 6 hours as needed but no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. this medication will make you sleepy so no driving!!

if after doing this-you don't notice a change w/in 24 hours-then make an appt to see your dr or go to the nearest urgent care. you might need a steriod shot to stop the reaction and reduce the swelling

good luck to you
