A deer fly or yellow fly bit me near my elbow 24 hours ago. it is very swollen, hot and hard. the redness did go down a bit. a skin thermometer is telling me that the bite is 99.1 and on my other arm it says 97.6. is that ok? i took 10mg cetrizine?

A deer fly or yellow fly bite can cause all the five signs of inflamation swelling, redness, and discomfort, elevated temperature and loss of function. It is important to monitor the symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen. The anti histamine cetizine may relieve the discomfort and itching.
