What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Neck After A Bug Bite?
Hi um I lately have been feeling very dizzy and offbalance at times. On Sunday I went fishing and this bug bit the back of my ear and the bottom of my hairline on my neck in the back of my head. They aren't tick bites but they are really red and about the size of a dime but a little smaller. I live in Wisconsin so it can't be anything tropical. But the next day I woke up to find the side of my neck swollen and what I think to be my limph nodes sticking out the side of my neck they're midly painful. It's sorta like a akeing sensation. I also have asthma and this rash on my arms which itches sometimes. I'm 14 btw . I really hope you could heip me out or somthing or at least give me an answer because I'm freaking out so uh ... Thanks
bug bite can cause skin and soft tissue edema and pain. as you have history of asthma too, you need to seek medical advice and should take anti inflammatory medicine with anti allergic too to prevent asthmatic attack. swelling will take some time to regress. morever edema presses the nerve near the ear so it causes dizziness.
