Well i think i got stung by something and it was very itchy then a little later it was swoulling. why? and what should i do?

Ice/ antihistamine/T: Swelling and itching are normal with insect bits. Ice works well ideally at first. An antihistamine will help with the itching. If the reaction stay localized you should probably be ok, but it is always a good thing to check with a health care provider.
