Insect bite and infection

2017-09-25 13:51:08
Hi, I have been bitten by an insect 4-5 days ago on the lower eyelid. There is swelling, redness and fluid draining. The entire left cheek is swollen and red. The right cheek is also red and swelling but there was no insect bite on this cheek. I've had benadryl.
