I have swelling around a bug bite. i don't know what bit me but it's swollen, warm to touch, oozing clear liquid, red and itchy. there's two bites close to each other but one is a lot more swollen and red. happened a day ago.should i go to hospital?

No: This sounds like an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Try oral benadryl. If it does not improve, or if redness worsens or becomes streaky or tender, it is important to go see a doctor for further evaluation
