I have some pretty big ones on my leg and I've just been putting ice and itch relief cream on them. Since yours hurts the ice might be a good choice. Or just splash it with cold water.

Answer 6

I think drinking water actually helps swelling. It is actually a good thing but go to the alternative health area & see what they can tell you there.

Answer 7

put on ice and anti itch cream. be gentle with it

Answer 8

Heat a warm cloth and place on the bug bite for about 30mins, repeat about twice. Afterwards to stop the itching rub alcohol over it and then put a layer of vaseline, it stops oxygen from hitting the bite which causes the itch.

Ice.
