Suggest Remedy For A Painful Bump On The Hip From An Insect Bite
hi. not sure what i got bit by or if i should be seen. was bitten yesterday. noticed a red bump and itched really bad and so i tryed not to itch. a couple hours later i felt sick to my stomach and kinda like a had the flu. that went away after a couple hours and i was fine but today i woke up and the spot looks bigger and is oozy and it feels like i recieved a shot. its on my hip and it doesnt itch too bad just hurts when i walk around or sit and kinda throbes. what should i do?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, chances of insect bite could be very likely and it need to be taken care for infection and on prophylactic basis anti-biotic need to be started and best drug would be "Tab Cefdinir 300 mg" twice in day for 5 days, local application of "Diphenhydramine lotion" can be tried, Tab Ibuprofen can be used for inflammation and pain, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
