Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that due to multiple insect bites there has been allergic reaction as well as inflammation at the site and around the area of insect bites leading to pain and redness..

There can also be swelling and itching at the site of bite..

Your husband can take a course of anti-allergics like Benadryl or Allegra, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, do cool compresses over the area..
You can also apply a steroid ointment over the area..
Avoid scratching the area to prevent infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
