Hello and welcome to e health forum.
It is difficult to diagnose the cause of the bite, without a direct examination and additional âhistory. â
But it does seem that you have a inflammatory reaction to the bite. â
You can apply cold packs to the affected area and it should reduce the redness and soreness. In âaddition Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) can be taken for a few days, that will help in early healing âand also relieve symptoms sooner. â
In case the symptoms get worse or do not get better in 2-3 days, then consulting a doctor for âprescription of a course of antibiotics to treat any local infection might be essential. â
