Hi,I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Please do not worry.You were treated with proper medications earlier.
The cause of feeling inflation around the bitten area may be due to fibrosis and scarring during wound healing.It will not cause any health problems and you do not need any further treatment for this.

If you find signs of inflammation like redness,swelling,raised local temperature,pain etc,then please contact with your local doctor because it needs physicians attention to confirm the diagnosis and for proper management.

Hope this relieves your tension.
If you have further queries,please ask us any time.
Wish you peaceful life.
