Bitten By Fire Ants On Neck, Swollen Lymph Gland, No Infection. Treatment?
Hi Judi, Ideally, the bite mars should go away in a week s time. The swollen lymph gland also should return to normal by this time. She could apply calamine lotion topically on the affected areas. Nothing to worry much, it should go away soon. There is no need to see the doctor now. Regards,
