Suggest Medication For Extremely Swollen Foot Due To Mosquito Bites

I have an extremely swollen foot due to mosquito bites and my veins in my wrists, hands, feet and chest now resemble a road map - very prominent. Should I worry? I'm 31yrs, 5,11", female, Crohns in remission on vacation from the UK in Greece. Thank you

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The use of an oral antihistamine and anti inflammatory medication would help to reduce the swelling.
Both of these would be available over the counter.

Eg of anti inflammatory medication are ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam,

You also need to consider insect repellants and protective clothing to avoid any other bites.

I hope this helps
