Suggest Medication For Pain And Numbness Caused Due To Insect Bite
I was in the garden this morning, and was bitten by an unidentified insect. It was tiny, about the size of a fruit fly and ivory/white in color. The bite was sharp but shortlived... there is now just a tiny red pin prick at the site but numbness/ prickly sensation is working its way up my leg... completely encircling my leg... my arm and pinky finger on the same side also are getting a bit numb. There is no pain or itch.
