I got bite by some kind of red bug and i have swollen whelp like marks and the chills what should i do?

Allergic reaction?: This may be an allergy to the bite (could be a mite if very tiny red insect). Especially if the bites itch. Chills are not expected with allergic reactions however, and may be separate viral infection. If the redness joins and spreads or you see pus drainage then you should contact your doctor or go to the ed.
