Bite from what?: How long ago did it happen? Have you seen anyone? If swelling and infection producing pressure, relief of swelling may cure your issue. Seek help.

Get examined: The question is what type of bite and whether there is infection. It's best to see an infectious disease specialist to be certain appropriate testing is performed and proper treatment rendered.
