How to cure mosquito bites at the back of the knees?
Patient: i have this "mosquito" bites on the back of my knees, which was swollen, itchy and red. then it spread to a semi circle shape with liquid oozing out every time after i bathed. the next day it spread to the back of my another knee. i keep discovering new "bites" after i wake up and they are now all turning purple. it has even spread to my thighs and feet. i went to my GP and he just gave me antibiotics and a cream to apply. i even had slight fever when i visited him. the medicine does not seem to be helping and its spreading even further. Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicIf the oral antibiotics are not effective , you may need to see your doctor for reassessment. It is possible that the infection is resistant to it and you may need an alternative.The use of anti inflammatory medication may help with the fever and reduce the inflammation associated with the bites.This includes medication such as ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam.You also need to wear protective clothing and insect repellent to prevent new bites.Check the surroundings for any collections of water (even a bottle cap can breed mosquitoes).I hope this helps
