HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The swelling and hives represents part of your allergic response to the insect bite. It is part of the delayed immune allergic response. You need to continue the use of the prednisolone and antihistamines to prevent any worsening. If you experience any severe allergic symptoms, you should consult your doctor. I hope this helps
