Suggest Treatment For Mosquito Byte

Hey. Yesterday noon, I was bitten by a mosquito. Its legs were striped white and leg and its butt is filled with blood. It itched and after 30 minutes, the mark was gone. This morning, I felt so hot, but this afternoon, I am a bit warm now. Do you think that mosquito that bit me transferred a disease?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

See mosquito bite can transmit certain infection like dengue , malaria , chikungunya
Like febrile illness.....

You feel feverish....so it could be febrile illness or it could only be congestive symptom by viral infection.....

Symptomatic treatment done....

I would advise following investigation...
-CBC
-peripheral smear examination for parasites
-liver enzymes estimation

Take paracetamol for fever...
Benadryl like drug might taken for relieving inflammation....

Water more.
Healthy diet taken...
Echinacea herb that help in resisting infection by flu...

Now according to further presentation of symptom in one or two days detail investigation can be done....

Take care.
