I am trying to figure out if my daughter needs to go to urgent care over a bug bite.
She is 5 1/2 has what looks like a bug bite on her middle finger. I can''t really see where the bug bite itself is. She woke up this morning saying her finger really itched. Her whole finger is all red and swollen. She says it itches and I have been putting an itch cream on it and a band aide to help her not itch it so much. She has some redness that has gone onto the palm of her hand as well. She says it does not hurt and she can bend it just fine without it hurting. It just itches her like crazy.
She does get very swollen when she gets bit by misquotes. Her bites will swell up to a .50 cent piece or larger with them feeling really hard like a knot. So considering she swells so much I am thinking that a bug bite on her finger may just swell up her whole finger like it has. At the same time it looks really bad and I can''t really see where the actual bite is.
I guess since she has no other trouble with it I should just let it be another day or so.
Anyone ever had a bug bite reaction like this before? I am usually better safe than sorry, however I am not really wanting an urgent care bill for a bug bite.
