Give it some time: If you are otherwise healthy and have no history of unusual sensitivity to insect bites, I would recommend giving it some time. Topical Anti itch medications will help. I would not be overly concerned.

Yes, if really bad: Meanwhile, use Benadryl, Tylenol or advil, unless you are allergic to any of those, and apply hydrocortisone 1% cream to the affected areas, cold cold compresses would help too, good luck
