What to do when an ant bite swells up

Swelling after being bitten by ants may be an allergic reaction produced by the ants’ secretion of toxins or their internal components into the body. You can use a lot of water to rinse, glycerine lotion, take histamine drugs and so on. 1. Rinse with plenty of water: After being bitten by ants, rinsing with plenty of water can reduce the residual toxins in the skin. 2. Glycerine lotion: The toxin produced after ant bite will lead to skin allergic reaction, which may show intense itching, while glycerine lotion can make the itching situation less severe and reduce itching. 3. Take antihistamines: such as loratadine, which can be used to relieve chronic urticaria, pruritic dermatosis and other allergic skin diseases, and is therefore suitable for allergic reactions caused by ant bites.
