What are the first aid for insect bite in tropics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There can be some pretty nasty insects in the tropics. However, most often just symptomatic treatment works the best, like antihistamines, icing the area, wound cleansing if the bite is more severe and other common basic treatments.
