Welcome to the HCM
Insect an be bite can be treated at home with anti histamine tab.If you start symptoms that are not just at the site of bite,or if you get systemic symptoms..e.g (breathlessness,swelling of lips,itching of whole body,wheezing,chest pain etc),then you should immediatly consult nearby doctor.
As Some time anaphylaxis reaction can happen, which can be life threatning.
At home you can have anti histamine and anti inflammatory and antibiotic for treatment
