Bug bite, allergic reaction?

My boy gotten bitten by some orange looking bug at school whilst helping with the gardening Monday. He's woken up with more bites on his leg's, is this some kind of allergic reaction? The bite he had Monday was a big welt and he said whatever bit him really hurt, they had to put ice on it for quite some time.

Try antihistamine and take him to the chemist for cream.

My daughter gets this from mozzies, our doctor said it was a local reaction.
Antihistamines help her but she generally needs a course of antibiotics as well to clear the infection.

Yeah sounds like it. Like others have suggested go to the chemist and get an antihistamine! My little one gets skeeter syndrome and his face swells up.
