Answers:
Here's a few simple natural remedies you may have access to trying!.

Mashed fresh basil or comfrey leaves applied as a poultice, if you have these herbs in your garden!.

Sucking the juice from a freshly cut banana plant (I know not everyone has one handy - but worth sharing this in case) helps against many toxins & poisonous stings!. Also juice from the cut leaves soothes insect stings!. I've also heard that just mashing the banana itself, applying & then covering with a clean handerchief can also work well!.

Spread some honey onto a clean cloth!. Place an ice cube on top of the honey!. Wrap up the cloth & place on affected area, honey side next to the bite!.

Arnica gel helps reduce swelling & bruising from bites/stings!.

Teatree oil is worth applying if you have it as it has properties which can help in lots of ways!. It will definately soothe the bite, but the sooner you apply it after you've been bitten - the more effective it would be!.

Thick mud can also be used to help draw out the injected poisons - put the clay on the bite & let it dry & as it dries it will draw out the poison

These are natural remedies which can be of assistance if it's nothing serious, but I'd have it checked out at a Doctor aswell if it seems to be getting worse, seeing as you don't know what it was - in case of it being something like a spider or scorpion, or in case of allergy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you have any benedryl take 2!.!.!. when i got bit by a wasp that's the first thing the nurse told me to do!.!.!.so it would stop a allergic reaction!.!.!.but I'd go to a clinic if it gets worse or numbWww@Answer-Health@Com

Ice will naturally make the wounded part numb for a period of time!. If you should feel anymore pain, consult a doctor about it!.
