What medicine should I use if I'm bitten by a bedbug

Speaking of bedbugs, I believe everyone hates them, but it is too difficult to catch them at home because they are most afraid of sunlight. Therefore, bedbugs hide during the day and come out at night. They usually live in gaps in walls, bed frames, ceilings, floors, etc., and once bitten by bedbugs, the wound will become red, swollen and inflamed, itchy and unbearable, and large bumps will appear. These are very uncomfortable for the human body. So let’s talk about how to deal with bedbug bites and what medicine to use.

There are many places where bed bugs can appear and hide, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will be completely eliminated. But what if you are bitten by bed bugs by accident?

1. Do not take medicine without permission. If you are accidentally bitten by a bed bug, you should go to the hospital for treatment and examination immediately. The doctor will give the correct treatment.

2. You can apply iodine. If you have iodine at home, you can apply it around the wound. The area to be applied should be large because the toxins from bed bug bites will spread.
