Most commonly it causes allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Most common effect caused by bite is allergic response. Allergic response can be mild or severe. In her case local swelling is because of that reaction. It usually takes 4-5 days to improve. Meanwhile you await for appointment, take following measures:
- cetirizine one at night for 5 days
- wash bitten area with alcohol swab thrice a day
- keep it clean
- Do not touch with dirty hands.
Hopefully it will improve with these measures. If condition remains same or aggravates then you need to take her to ER.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
