How We Treat Allergic Reactions to Bug Bites and Stings

Our approach to treating allergic reactions to bug bites and stings is fast and thorough. When you arrive at one of our emergency rooms, our medical team will:

Assess the Severity

We’ll quickly determine if your reaction is mild, moderate, or severe.

Administer Epinephrine

For anaphylactic reactions, we provide an epinephrine injection to halt the reaction and stabilize your breathing.

Provide Antihistamines

Antihistamines are used to reduce swelling, itching, and hives, helping you feel relief faster.

Monitor Breathing

In cases of difficulty breathing, we may provide oxygen or other respiratory support.

Follow-Up Care

After immediate treatment, we will discuss next steps, including prescriptions or a referral to an allergist for future prevention.

Common Allergic Reactions to Bug Bites and Stings We Treat

Village Emergency Centers handles all types of allergic reactions, including severe and life-threatening cases. Here are some common symptoms we treat:

Anaphylaxis

A severe allergic reaction causing difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat and tongue, and a drop in blood pressure, which requires immediate care.

Swelling and Pain

Localized swelling around the bite or sting site that may spread, causing discomfort and restricted movement.

Difficulty Breathing

We provide appropriate medications for pain relief, anti-nausea, or preventive treatments for chronic headache sufferers.

Dizziness or Fainting

Sudden drops in blood pressure or dehydration can cause light-headedness or fainting, requiring ER attention.

When to Visit Village Emergency Centers for Allergic Reactions

Knowing when to seek emergency care for a reaction to a bug bite or sting is crucial. At Village Emergency Centers, we recommend you come to our walk-in urgent care facility if you experience any of the following:

  • Severe swelling that spreads beyond the bite area
  • Trouble breathing or shortness of breath
  • Fainting, dizziness, or confusion after being bitten or stung
  • Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
  • Hives or rash that spreads quickly

These symptoms could indicate conditions like concussions, brain hemorrhages, or infections, which require prompt treatment.

Emergency or Walk-In Care for Allergic Reactions?

If you’re unsure whether your reaction requires ER care or can be handled with walk-in urgent care, remember that Village Emergency Centers offers both options. We provide fast and reliable care no matter the severity of your symptoms. Mild reactions may be managed in our urgent care facilities, while more serious reactions, such as anaphylaxis, are handled in our fully-equipped emergency rooms.
