I got bitten a couple of days ago and now it's really hot, red and very itchy! very red around the bite too what shall i do?

Relief: Could be local allergic reaction to the bite or secondary bacterial cellulitis. I would try a combination of an over the counter topical cortisone and antibiotic ointment. Still would recommend seeing your doctor if redness does not resolve or fever develops.
