What Are The Treatment And Side Effects Of Bug Bite?
My 22 month old daughter was bit by a bug. We took her to the doctor and they gave us some cream to rub on the area. She has one on her arm and on the inner side of her elbow her veins look green and appear bulging out of her arm. Should I keep an eye on it or take her to the er?

Hi...by what you quote this looks like a spider bite. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days.
Using only topical ointments will not be of much use.
I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room and get her checked once.
