When an Insect Bite Needs Medical Attention
You should seek medical care for a bug bite if you experience:
• Increasing redness, warmth, or swelling
• Severe itching or pain
• Signs of infection (pus, streaking redness, fever)
• Blistering or skin breakdown
• Swelling of the face, lips, hands, or feet
• Rash spreading beyond the bite area
• Symptoms after a tick bite
• Any allergic-type reaction
Leaa Health can evaluate these symptoms at home, helping prevent complications and unnecessary ER visits.
How At-Home Bug Bite Treatment Works
1. Book a visit online or by phone
2. A licensed medical provider comes to you
3. On-site evaluation of the bite or sting
4. Treatment may include medications, topical therapy, wound care, or monitoring
5. Clear guidance on after-care and warning signs
Most visits are completed in a single appointment, with follow-up instructions provided as needed.
Bug Bite Treatment Options — Home vs Urgent Care vs ER
Insect and bug bites are usually not emergencies, but they can require medical evaluation. Here’s how at-home care compares to urgent care clinics and emergency rooms.
| Care Option | Wait Time | Typical Cost | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leaa Health — At Home | Same-day (often within hours) | Transparent visit pricing | Most bug bites, swelling, infection concerns, children, seniors | Medical provider comes to your home or hotel. No waiting rooms or travel. |
| Urgent Care Clinic | 1–4+ hours | Variable, insurance-dependent | Moderate symptoms during clinic hours | Requires travel, exposure to other patients, and long waits during peak times. |
| Emergency Room (ER) | 4–8+ hours | High, often thousands of dollars | Severe allergic reactions or life-threatening symptoms | Necessary for emergencies only. Not ideal for routine insect bites. |
Note: Severe allergic reactions (trouble breathing, throat swelling, fainting) require immediate emergency services. Leaa Health provides non-emergency medical care.

“Leaa Health is a total game changer. I booked a same-day home visit for my father who had flu symptoms while visiting from London. The doctor arrived within 90 minutes, was incredibly professional, and even brought a rapid test kit. We avoided a chaotic ER visit, and my dad was feeling better within hours. Concierge healthcare at its best!”

“From booking to follow-up, Leaa’s service was seamless. I use the Elite Plan for my family and it’s worth every dollar. We’ve had multiple visits in-home for IV therapy, testing, and even travel clearance. Their providers are top-notch, and the peace of mind is priceless when you have kids. Highly recommend for busy professionals or anyone who values comfort and safety.”
