I Was bit my mosquitos on friday night just above my ankles now my ankles and feet are very swollen?what to do
Answer:
It just an allergic reaction to the mosquito bites. Don't scratch the bites and apply Witch Hazel. In the future take a B-Complex Vitamin every day and mosquitoes will avoid you like the plague.
call a doctor
either get some benadryl or go to doc for a rx.
If your mosquito bite becomes red and swollen and if the area around the bite feels warm to the touch, your bite may be infected. Apply an antibiotic cream or ointment. If symptoms do not clear up, consult your doctor.
In rare cases, you may contract encephalitis from a mosquito bite. If, 5 to 15 days after a mosquito bite, you experience severe headaches, fever, nausea and vomiting, disorientation, chills and/or muscle aches and pain, see your doctor immediately.
That's an allergic reaction(I had a similar reaction from a bee sting into my leg)YOU NEED TO GO TO THE NEXT EMERGENCY ROOM AND GET TREATED--YOU CAN DIE FROM THIS KIND OF ALLERGIC REACTION
Take a Benadryl if the swelling does not go down within 2 hours get your feet to a doctor.
I'd say call your family practitioner first, or else try urgent care or the emergency room. Anonym is right about severe allergic reactions, but the best ones to judge these are the pros.
