Common Symptoms of a Bug Bite or Sting
Bite and sting symptoms vary depending on the type of bug involved, but generally speaking, they often cause:
- Pain
- Itchiness
- Numbness
- Swelling
- Redness
If you are experiencing symptoms like these, you may be able to find relief by cleaning the bite, applying a cold pack, using a topical lotion or spray, or taking medication (for example, an antihistamine or pain medication).
However, if your bite or sting occurred near your mouth, in a sensitive area, you have developed a red rash resembling a bullseye, or you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, signs of an infection, or redness or swelling that’s lasted at least 72 hours, then you should promptly seek professional bug bite or sting treatment. It is also important to note that in certain cases, bug bites and stings can be a medical emergency, so you should call 911 or get to a nearby hospital if you’re experiencing life- or limb-threatening symptoms.
