Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Allergy due to bite takes some days to recover. Its good things that you cleaned it with alcohol. Wait for few days and meanwhile i would suggest you following things:
> Take levocetirizine one at night if itching occurs.
> Apply fusidic acid ointment over the bite mark

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
> There is difficulty in breathing.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
