What Causes Severe Muscle After Chiggar Bites And Using Chigarid?

My 37 year old son is covered in chiggar bites from waist down after walking through a field. He used the chigarid and is complaining of severe muscle aching, is this a reaction to the poison of the bites or could it be a reaction to the medication? Thank you.

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
Muscle aching is generally due to the poison spreading through the muscle tissue causing the muscles to get inflammed.It has nothing to do with the reaction to medication.Analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
