Insect bites and stings are usually minor and improve within a few days. Applying an antihistamine cream such as Anthisan may help reduce itching and discomfort, helping to minimise scratching that can further irritate the skin.
Seek medical advice if swelling is severe, symptoms worsen, signs of infection develop, or if there is any difficulty breathing following a bite or sting, as this may indicate a serious allergic reaction requiring urgent medical attention.
