This morning I woke up with flu-like symptoms, including weakness, chest congestion and wheezing (I have asthma and have had to use my nebulizer twice), and incredibly sore muscles. I had a slight cough before that which I just attributed to allergies, but this felt like something else. I also found a small insect bite high on my left thigh this morning that I thought nothing of at first. It was itchy and slightly tender. However throughout the course of the day my symptoms got worse and the bite seemed to increase in size. It s currently about half the size of a pencil eraser, and it s got a white potentially pus-filed center, with a tiny dot (puncture wound?) in the center. It s no longer itchy but the bite is incredibly tender and slightly swollen, and surrounded by a red halo about an inch in diameter. I was wondering if I should go to the doctor s office if things seem worse tomorrow?
Hi thanks for using Chat Doctor Here two problems occurred together Could be related or so metes due to two different problemsYour Fever, Astma exacerbation could be due to the infection on the thigh. Anyway treat your asthma symptoms. The pus filled area on the thigh has to treated. First we will start oral antibiotics and other symptomatic care. It is better to start the treatment under the supervision of a doctor. If the abscess(pus filled area) is not responding, he will have to evacuate it manually.Hence, don't delay treatment thank you....
