Dog bit by bug on snout, itching a lot. What can I give her?

Question

Hello. My dog appears to have a sting or bug bite on her snout. It seems to have happened earlier today and she's generally fine, but she does seem to itching it quite a bit so I'm worried about irritation/inflammation/etc. As she would be able to lick off a topical I'm wondering if there's any other options to help reduce itching? Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 6 years and 11 months old | 53 lbs

You can give her 50mg Benadryl (two 25mg adult tablets) to help her. If she isn't feelin better by tomorrow I would see your vet. Your vet can prescribe a stronger allergy medicine if needed. I hope this helps.
