Yeah, probably fireants, no worries!.
Go into your bathroom, run the water hot, like really hot, as hot as you can stand it to be (yes, fairly painful but trust me), of course you don't want to actually burn yourself, so find that good spot!.
Hold the bite under the extremely hot water for about 5-10 seconds, then run some cooler water (do not use ice water, just cool tap water) on it for a second, wash with some soap and water, put some anti-itch cream on and you're good!.
The hot water will help to open the pores and pull the toxin out, you wash with soap to get it all off, the anti-itch cream as a just-in-case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't have any experience with fire ants: we have *** blackflies!. Maybe these remedies will be useful:
Oragel or one of the other toothache remedies have a local anaesthetic in them!. I've found it helps when itching is bad!.
If I put some "hand sanitizer" on a new bite, it seems to lessen the reaction!.
I bought a box of small circular bandaids (the kind they put where they've taken a blood sample)!. If I put them on the bug bites, I'm less likely to scratch, especially at night!. Particularly good with children!.
A doctor once recommended soaking in a lukewarm bath with a good handful of baking soda in it!. It soothes skin irritations, in general!.
Human lice come in two varieties:
Head lice live on the head, particularly at the back, at the neck!.
Body lice live in the pubic hair!.
There may be exceptions in extreme cases!.
