I was bit by something the next morning my foot was swollen the bite now size of a dime with green center and severely sensitive what can i do?

Stinger: Check to see if a stinger has to be removed. If there is associated redness, antibiotics will be needed. Antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) reduce allergic type swelling. I recommend that your physician examine you as soon as possible.
