Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 19 year old daughter was bitten by something a little over 24 hours ago. The bite is on her lower rib cage and has swollen to maybe the size of a golf ball? It is sensitive and painful as well as warm to the touch. She is taking Advil for the pain and some Benadryll - the site has been cleaned and treated with neosporin. Is there anything else she should be doing for treatment or relief?
hi thanks for asking this on HCM, AS of now the steps you have taken is right just consult with a local physician mostly she will be kept in observation for sometime since there is no knowledge of what bit her. if she does not develop any other symptoms she will be sent home. she might need a dexamethasone injection. take care no need to worry she will be alright.
