Suggest Medicines For Swelling Due To Ant Bite .
I just got a red ant bite on my neck. In the past, I have REALLY reacted to red ant bites, but I have never had one on my neck. My arma and legs have blown up like balloons with previous bites. I am worried. If my neck swells up, what should I look for that will tell me if I need to see a doctor?
