Which hospital or clinic to go to in Bangkok for insect bites?

[Maca]

Does anyone know a good hospital or clinic to go to for insect bites? I have a bite on my neck while although it's not itching its red and swollen, if it hasn't gone down and healed in a couple of days I'll need to get it checked out by a doctor. I've been to hospitals before in Bangkok and a lot of doctors don't bother doing the tests they should, they will prescribe whatever medicine they think you need. I've had dengue fever before so I need to see a doctor that knows what he's doing.

 

Thanks Maca

Seems like you are a doctor, you know which tests and medicine, so why don't you treat yourself at home?

This is not going to require any special tests. Just a quick look to see if it seems to be infected and then antibiotics if it does.

 

Most Thai doctors will probably give antibiotics even if it does nto seem infected on the assumption that this is what you expect or you wouldn't have come in.

 

Unless the redness is increasing in size, you could simply go to a pharmacy and get a cream containing bexamethasone to apply.

A bit hard if you've got dengue fever...

You prove my point, you have already self diagnosed, you do not need a doctor, you are one.

OP I don;t understand the dengue connection?
