Gi-ant Pain.: Ant bites can be a pain. You are doing all the right things. Try elevating the foot and applying an ice pack to the area. Taking an anti inflammatory like Motrin may also help. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix.

Both my feet have swollen with pain for 4 days. Can't bend toes or walk on the balls. Bones hurt. General creams, soaking and cold don't work to heal.
