Hard to say: This sometimes occurs as the normal chemical agents released in the tissues cause localized fluid accumulation.It is considered a body defense, diluting any debris from a bite and walling it off from the body so it can be processed by the lymph nodes.It is often itchy and may be warm.Your doc can look it over and make sure it is not infected. Most swelling goes down in a few days.Benedryl can help

Exam now: this sounds like an infected insect bite or a reaction to insect venom.

Sounds infected.: That sounds infected if it’s swollen and hot to the touch. Your daughter may require an antibiotic. You should bring her to the doctor.
