When to Go to Urgent Care for an Insect Bite

​

While many insect bites can be remedied at home with a cold compress or over-the-counter itch cream, promptly visiting a trusted medical provider like Lifeline Urgent Care for insect bite treatment is important if: 

​

• The bite is especially red, swollen, warm, or painful

• You have a fever

• There is drainage from the bite

• Blisters, a rash, or sores develop 

• There are red streaks extending from the bite  

​

Our board-certified physicians can properly clean and bandage bites, ease bothersome symptoms, and treat infected bites, if necessary.

​

When to Call 911

​

An insect bite or sting can sometimes cause a life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. Call 911 immediately if any of the following occur:

​

• Trouble breathing

• Wheezing

• Lightheadedness

• Sudden confusion

• Loss of consciousness
