insect bite treatment

Do you mean “GOM” insect or a local name for a specific insect? Please send a photo or tell me your country and what it looks like, since treatment can differ for a bee/wasp, caterpillar, spider, centipede, or mosquito bite.
For a mild, unidentified insect bite meanwhile:
  • Wash with soap and water.
  • Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth for 15-20 minutes.
  • Avoid scratching.
  • For itch/swelling, a pharmacist can advise an oral antihistamine or 1% hydrocortisone cream.
  • For pain, use paracetamol/acetaminophen or ibuprofen if safe for you.
Get emergency help now for trouble breathing, throat/lip/tongue swelling, faintness, widespread hives, or rapidly worsening swelling. Seek medical care if there is pus, fever, spreading redness, severe pain, or a worsening wound. NHS first-aid guidance covers these measures.
