I would like to see a picture of the site of the bite and how long is the problem. It is the body's self response called inflammation which causes swelling at the site of injury. Also in long term cases there could be a growth of bacteria and infection causing swelling. There are medications which could help you reduce swelling. Consult me so that I could prescribe you.

The time it takes for the tpha to turn negative after treatment with penicillin can vary depending on several factors, such as the stage of the infection, the severity of the disease, and the individual's immune response. In general, after treatment with penicillin, the tpha test can become negative as early as one week after treatment in early syphilis cases.
