Suggest Treatment For Swollen Insect Bite With Dizziness

Hi, I was bitten by an insect of some sort a few days several times on the ankle. I suspect a mosquito. Overnight it did swell and itched like crazy. The following day I went on a trip and forgot about it until the evening when I noticed the swelling had got worse but I didn't have redness I normally get. The following morning the swelling had gone but I woke several times with it itching and had severe dizziness. I found a pharmacy and bought anti histomines which seem to have help but the dizziness is not going away. Even moving my head makes me feel like i've been spun in circles repeatedly. I had dizziness a few weeks ago too but not as bad... could it be related to the bites?
