Hello,
Continue taking antibiotics and steroids. If the swelling does not subside in 2-3 days, revisit your doctor. you are having insect bite hypersensitivity. it will take between 3-5 days to subside.
If you get giddiness, shortness of breath, swelling of lips or face anytime in-between, immediately go to emergency room.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
