Allergic reactions to bug bites can range from mild to life-threatening, with symptoms progressing gradually or rapidly. As such, if you notice that your child has experienced a bug bite, it is critical that you monitor them for allergic reactions. Some signs of an anaphylactic allergic reaction to a bug bite include the following:   - Confusion and dizziness - Coughing - Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or wheezing - Fainting - Headache - Hives or a rash all over their body - Slurred speech - Swollen eyes, lips, or tongue - Trouble swallowing - Vomiting   If your child is experiencing the above symptoms after a bug bite, seek immediate medical attention at an urgent care clinic or emergency room. If their symptoms are life-threatening, call 911 immediately and take them to an emergency room.   Life-threatening symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, swelling of the lips, eyes, and tongue, dizziness, confusion, fainting, nausea, and vomiting.   If their symptoms are concerning but not life-threatening, an urgent care clinic like ours at Kidswood Pediatrics can provide excellent care and treatment.
