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.
