Hi, a couple of weeks ago I was bitten by some insects and given antibiotics as a precaution as one was quite raised. All seemed to settle but the day after I finished my antibiotics my left upper arm felt heavy and swollen (bites were left forearm) GP gave me stronger antihistamine, still didn't work and I felt it was spreading to my right arm and a bit puffy in my face. Given stronger antihistamine again but still there - I shouldn't google but terrified myself I have Lymphoedema as bloods and observations all ok. Nobody will take me seriously as I do have anxiety in general and also the swelling isn't massively obvious. It's how it feels to me but surely these tablets should've worked by now? I don't know where to go from here x
