Hello ,welcome to HCM. yes your doctor is right. I also wonder, with red ant bite so much allergic reaction.Ok let me know you said previously also you had . then also it happened after ant bite. If it is so this time symptomatic reactions must have increased. If it is yes for both the questions,then you are facing allergic reactions for ant bite. But definitely it should have gone down after injection. you should be careful and be away from these red ants. Keep tablets like allegra always with you. This you can use when ever there is bite . Avil Tab causes drowsiness.Makes you sleepy. So you cannot travel after taking avil tablets. Take care
