Doctors tomorrow i think might be the best thing to do

If you have any anti-histamine tablets take some - keep a close eye. Try to cool it down with cold water. Tell your parents and if it gets worse you may need a visit to A&E to get some treatment.

This may help too.

Problem is she's from USA so it costs to see Doctor ect.

I'd just keep a close eye take some tablets and see how you are tomorrow.

yeah doctor's isn't an option unless it gets worse. doctor costs loads.

Well if you have any local drugstores open maybe get some anti-histamine to calm down the allergic reaction?

Ideally with any reaction to the face, you should go to a minor injuries unit just to be on the safe side. If your lips/tongue/throat/mouth start to swell you need to get checked out by a doctor - if the swelling is a rapid onset then you should seek medical attention urgently. Like Catzsy said if you have allergy tablets that might help.

keep washing it just with warm water

also put some cream on it like sudocrem or moisuriser

also a cold flannel on it might help

Didn't know it cost to see the doctors!

Just keep an eye on it and then if it gets worse... then go to doctors :P

Hope it gets better

Obviously price doesn't matter when it comes to health so if it gets worse you will probably have to go.

Try a cold flannel and have some tablets xxx

What's happened, are you alright now? I hope everything worked out fine. It sucks that doctors costs for you :(

[,Lexiilu]

thanks for all of your help and concerns! i'm perfectly fine, the redness went away after a few hours and the swelling stayed a bit longer, however my face wasn't like super swelled or anything, just a bit so it was alright, i lived! thanks so much :D
