How To Treat The Allergic Reaction Caused By Mosquito Bites?
I received so many mosquito bites on my feet, approx 50 on each foot, that I think I had an allergic reaction. (I was in the woods and bug spray did not hold them off) Both feet swelled, skin became tight, the itching was soooo intense, I had sharp nerve pains, was very agitated, felt a heavy chest, and did not sleep for 48 hours. I tried every remedy: calamine lotion, rubbing alcohol, cortisone cream, vicks vaporub, cider vinegar, benadryl....all to no avail. I have polymorphous light syndrome and this felt like the same thing. Could this be possible to have a severe reaction to just a mosquito??

How To Treat The Allergic Reaction Caused By Mosquito Bites?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic It is possible to have a severe reaction particularly if there were a lot of bites. You need to continue using the benadryl every 6 hours at the maximum allowed dose of 50 mg. Since the reaction is so severe, you may need a course of oral steroids from your doctor if there is no response to the anti histamine. I hope this helps
