Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your query.
Kindly upload the photos of the bite to assess and provide you with more specific advice.

Is there history of trauma to area, is itching and pain occur all the time, or itching is associated with bite.

Presently I would suggest you to avoid scratching to avoid the chances of secondary infection. Apply calamine lotion with alovera to the affected area. Take over the counter oral antihistamine like ceterizine to address the itching. Continue to take ibuprofen for pain and capsule omez 20 mg once daily before breakfast.

You should be fine with this measures.
I'll be glad to address your further queries.
Take care.
