Swollen bite

Hi mummies. Wonder if any of you occur this before. My lo is having this kind of bite in the toddler group, at first is at the leg now happen on the hand too. It’s red and swollen and feels hot. Went to see doc before, taken the medicine and it’s fine for about a week, after that come back again. Is this common insect bite? Or some kind of bacteria? Should I bring her for a blood test? Thanks

My girl will always have this kind of reaction (with huge bumps and water) to insect bites. The dr prescribed antibacterial cream and hydrocortisone to be applied on the affected area.

Okay thanks mummy! 😁

Looks like insect bite like ant or mosquito. If no fever and child isn’t restless it should be ok. What did the dr say
