A member asked:

I have a bite on my leg it's hard has fever?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't sound good: A doctor can evaluate if a person's bug bite has gotten bigger and harder, especially if it got more red and more tender, and especially if she developed a fever without another reason for her fever. If the bite is infected, antibiotics are usually needed. An in-person exam helps decide whether or not there is pus in the bite wound.
