I got bitten by something yesterday and my whole foot is red and swollen ?

Bug Bite: Sorry to hear that. It could be a reaction to the bite but it can also be a foot infection. Would recommend getting it looked at to determine if you need an antibiotic also or not. You can also take antihistamine and anti-inflammatory to decrease the swelling and pain.
