🦟 BITTEN? STUNG? ITCHY, RED OR SWOLLEN? 🐜
Insect bites and stings are common, especially during the warmer months and while travelling. Most are mild and improve within a few days — but that doesn’t mean you have to put up with the itching and irritation!
Browgate Pharmacy can help.
Come and speak to our friendly pharmacy team if you have:
🔸 Itching or irritation
🔸 Redness or mild swelling
🔸 Pain or tenderness around a bite or sting
🔸 A rash following an insect bite
🔸 A bite that just doesn’t seem to be settling
🔸 Concerns about whether it could be infected
We can assess your symptoms and advise on the most appropriate treatment, which may include antihistamines, creams or other suitable pharmacy treatments.
⚠️ Seek urgent medical help if you develop difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue or throat, severe dizziness, or other signs of a serious allergic reaction.
If a bite becomes increasingly hot, painful, swollen, starts producing pus, or you feel generally unwell, don’t ignore it — come and speak to us or seek medical advice.
Whether you’ve been bitten in the garden, on a summer walk or while travelling, Browgate Pharmacy is here to help you get the right advice and treatment.
