A member asked:
I have a mosquito bite (at least i think it's a mosquito bite) on the knuckle of my index finger and my finger is super swollen what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection? : A swollen finger could indicate an infection that needs antibiotics or even drainage. Is there pain? Redness? Warmth? If any of these signs is there with the swelling more chance of infection. Please have it looked at by a doctor. In the meantime use ice compresses and ibuprofen for pain/swelling.
