What Causes Pain, Numbness And Tingling In Leg After Getting Bit?

i was bit or stung by something in smithsville NJ yesterday. The bite has become more swollen and hard but doesn t look bad, but my arm is sore and I have numbness and tingling along with pain and cramping in my leg on the same side as my arm with the bite.I have MS, so I m not sure if I should just ignore the numbness and pain or not; I feel weaker than normal and dizzy

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Feeling dizzy and weak is the matter of concern.

I suggest you to visit the nearby hospital. Its not emergency but should visit whenever you got time.

Till that time you can take the chlorpheniramine, aceclofenac, prednisolone, cefixime and pantoprazole under your doctors guidance.

This will control the allergic reaction, pain, acidity due to drugs and infection. Please take above drugs under your doctors guidance.

Please maintian good hygiene by frequent Cleaning and dressing. This will prevent the infection from occuring.

Please avoid the injury to the bite site.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
