bug bite

Winnie is at the doctor's office today.  We noticed last night his is swelled up.  We found some marks on the elbow that look like a spider bite.  It feels warm to the touch and feels very hard.



The doctor said it's normal for kids his age to get a localized reaction like this to bug bites.  She recommended Benadryl.  If the swelling doesn't get better after a few hours then an antibiotic is probably needed (might be an infection).



Luckily the swelling and redness both looked better after a dose of Benadryl and a 5 hour nap!
