Allergic reactions to insects things can include headaches redness and swelling. This needs to be evaluated by a physician in person or you could try a telehealth visit with HealthTap

Spreading redness along with warmth of the skin is characteristic of secondary bacterial infection(cellulitis) and this requires a course of appropriate oral antibiotic with follow-up by a physician.
