bug bite huge swelling

I got bit by a bug while sleeping the day before yesterday. It acused some welling but I did not pay much attention. When the swelling intensifies today, I went to a general physician, he prescribed Nadoxin(10gm), chymoral plus amd laveta tab and said it will get ok. However. during the course of the day it has swelled even more abd is now burning and has strted to pain. I feel a lump in my left side of the face and a throbbing feeling while i walk. I generally don't worry about bites but this one has me real worried. Is it normal for a bug bite to swell and cause so much pain?

No it is not normal for a bug bite to cause that much pain and swelling. Use cool compresses and if it is no better tomorrow see a physician.
