Ignore or treat: Hives due to insect bites should run their course in a few days. If verry itchy, local cold application can reduce the itch. If you don't plan to drive or operate machinery, otc benedryl capsules may help slow or reverse the process. If you get belly pain, cramps or experience any breathing difficulty seek medical attention.
