Ouch! at this very moment as I'm typing I think I'm having an allergic reaction to a bug bite, and I've been bit before but my body never had this kind of reaction before, and I'm getting concerned because the rash is spreading I hope I dont have to go to the hospital have you ever had such a reaction to a bug bite if so what did you do? and should I be concerned or see a doctor?

I just called my local pharmacist less then 5 minutes after making this post, and he recommended that I take a tea spoon of children's benadryl and waite a little while and see if it will work, but he also said that If my symptoms are not better within 20 to 30 minutes that should see a doctor right away.

hi to all, what to do in this case and any other bites is ,always have some active charcoal in the house and grind it till it becomes powder then mix a little luke warm water ,put the mixture on a clean cloth and over the bite ,most of the poison will be absorb by the active charcoal, did you know that for grave stomach poison many hospitals give patients active charcoal to ingest it will absorb up to 60 to 70 % of the poison inside the stomach, naturally afterwards a stomach wash, checkout wikipedia ,hope i was of help ,bignik

I'd forgotten about the charcoal. I keep some capsules in my cabinet for such emergencies. I
I've never used it externally. Thank you for reminding me.

When I was bitten by a bug, I use some cooking oil on the swollen part and it will be gone after some time, but I have not had rash because of a bug biting. I think that you could use some external medicine for the rash as a try before you make a decision to see a doctor. I wish it would be fine very soon. Good luck and take care, apple.

take something that has antihistamine in it. But when i use to have allergic reactions i use petroleum jelly and it works.
but if the rash didnt go away for 1-2 days then go to a doctor
