Hello
Thank You for contatcing HCM.

These symptoms are due to allergic contact of fly with your skin. If a patient comes to me with similar symptoms then i would suggest cetrizine 10 mg at night for 5 days & acetaminophen for pain. Apart from that take a cloth piece and warm it over flame and then place it over the area of pain. It will give soothing effect.

Report to hospital if:
> Condition starts to deteriorate.
> Condition does not improve in 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears.
> There is difficulty in breathing.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish him good health!
