Can Insect Bite Lead To Sore Throat And Swollen Foot?

Most likely an allergic reaction!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this sore throat, foot swelling and the bite your son suffered today. I have reviewed the information fully and it is suggestive of a possible allergic reaction. I will like to have an image of the leg for review to make sure there are no looming signs of infection that need immediate attention.
With Benadryl administered, I will recommend that you observe closely for resolution of symptoms. If he’s in severe pain, I recommend you add tylenol to the benadryl. Keep me posted with his progress and so if he’s not improved significantly within 12-24hours.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
