∙ 15y agoAntihistimes like diphenhydramine (marketed as Benadryl) work well. So do icepacks. An experimental method that seems to work if you react within the first 5 minutes is to hotpack the sting with as hot a pack as you can without burning the patient. Leave this in place 10 minutes, renewing the pack if it cools. Then switch to coldpacks. Aspirin, Acetaminohen (APAP), or ibuprofen will help too.

∙ 11y agoThere are drugs known as Antihistamines that help provide allergy relief.
The first generation drugs can cause drowsiness so they should only be used at night time. They include drugs such as Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and Cetirizine (Zyrtec). The non-drowsy options are the second generation drugs and they include Loratidine (Claritin) and Fexofenadine (Allegra).
It is a good idea to ask your pharmacist to make sure the drug you eventually decide to take does not interact with your prescription medications.

Does hot chocolate help cure mosquito bites?
No, it does not. Mosquito bites cannot be cured by anything you drink or eat. Fortunately, there are some medicines you can put on a bite so that it does not itch as much, and unless the mosquito was carrying some disease, the bite itself will gradually cease to bother you.

Is codeine used for spider bites or infection due to spider bites?
Codeine is primarily used for mild to moderate pain relief. Codeine is also combined in some prescription cough medicines because it does help with coughing. I've never heard of using codeine just for a spider bite - unless you had complained of pain in the area, and that would be the reason it was prescribed to you.
