Suggest Treatment For Red Swelling Rash On Body
I got a bug bite this past weekend that has gotten worse. I now have swelling around the ankle where I got bitten and it feels like the pain is traveling up my leg. It is painful to move. It has swelling, a red rash all around the ankle and hurts very bad. Should I take prednisone?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, no need to have steroid but this can be well managed with antihistamine alone and best drug would be "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg once in day, even if you do not take anything still it will be fine soon, hope this information helps, take care,
