Suggest Remedy For Swelling On Arm Due To Insect Bite
I have a bite that is incredibly swollen on my arm. I think it s a spider bite since those are the only insects that I seem to find in my house. I do believe it may be an allergic reaction since it seems like nobody else living with me has gotten the same reaction.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it is an allergic reaction to the insect sting.
You can consider the use of an oral antihistamines to reduce your inflammatory response.
One of these can be obtained over the counter at your local pharmacy.
Examples are benadryl, claritine, zyrtec, allegra
I hope this helps
