How To Treat Redness And Wrist Swelling (possible Bug Bite)?
my 2 year old awoke this morning with his wrist swolen. i'm guessing a bug bite since the center of the red area (the red is about 3" circle) looks like a bug bite. Now its hard and warm to the touch. He asks fine, but its been all day and it hasn't changed much.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
An insect bite can cause symptoms and signs like this. I would advise you to give anti inflammatory drugs to your son along with local antibiotic cream for relief. If not subsided take him to the doctor immediately. All the best.
