Insect bite: Local reaction to an insect bite can be reduced with supportive care; clean the bite with soap and water.
Depending on your symptoms additional treatment options can work; including over the counter ice packs, nsaids, topical anti-itch ointments. If the reaction is worsening contact a doctor for evaluation.
It sounds like after 24 hours you made other plans.
