What Should I Do If I Get Bitten by an Ant?

Patients bitten by ants can clean the wound with soap water. If there is an allergic reaction, oral anti-allergic drugs such as Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, antibiotic ointments such as Erythromycin Ointment can be used. Generally, patients bitten by ants will not have particularly serious reactions, and they may only feel mild pain or itchiness. The wound can be cleaned with soap water to prevent inflammation. When a patient is bitten by an ant, and there is obvious swelling, itchiness, or even a rash at the bite site, it indicates that the patient may be allergic. Anti-allergic drugs such as Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If the bitten area becomes swollen or even develops pus, antibiotic drugs such as Erythromycin Ointment or Hydrocortisone Butyrate Cream can be used for local anti-inflammatory treatment. If the patient experiences symptoms such as shortness of breath or respiratory distress, they should immediately seek medical attention at the hospital. To prevent being bitten by ants, patients should avoid going to dense forests or damp and dark places. If abnormal symptoms occur after being bitten by an ant, seek help promptly.
