Allergy 2 mosquitoes: Immediate treatment includes washing the bite site, to prevent infection; take an otc antihistamine (diphenydramine or chlor-pheniramine), and apply a cold pack. If swelling causes hand weakness, go to urgent care to rule out infection & then possibly get corticosteroids to control this allergic reaction. Once better, get tested for mosquito-ige; immunotherapy may be available to prevent this rxn.
