See doctor.: You need to see your doctor as soon as possible to rule out infection. If you're unable to contact your doctor, then go to the emergency department of the hospital of your choice.

Infection & Allergy: It seems like you have developed Allergic reaction to Insect Bite. So topical Antibiotic like Neosporin and Antiallergic medicine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Hydrocortisone can be applied. Get examined by the doctor to make sure you re nor brewing an abscess underneath( Because of pain); in that case you may need Oral AB Rx
