Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that add chlorpheniramine maleate and low dose steroid prednisolone tablet in your current treatment. This both drugs can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by the insect bite. This much measures is enough to control your inflammation.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
