Dear Ms,
The redness around the site of bite is likely to be due to allergic reaction.
Celestamine is a steroid and antihistaminic combination. Dosage will be 5mg ( 2 tablets) twice a day for 3 days. It may cause some amount of drowsiness , so avoid driving or any work requiring concentration.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
