[/INST] Hello dear,Thank you for your contact to health care magic.I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.The possible swelling is because of the either infection or may be because of the allergic reaction to the sting.I advice you should take the cetrizine for the allergic reaction, aceclofenac and serratopeptidase for pain control and healing enhancer, ciprofloxacin tablet for infection control. Please take the above medication under your doctors guidance.Local application of the antibiotic ointment can help, you can use polysporin ointment.Please maintian good local hygiene. This is equally help ful in treating infection as do antibiotics.Avoid excessive sweating, wear cotton under garments.I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.Thank you,Dr Arun TankInfectious diseases specialist,HCM. </s>
