I got bitten by a red ant two days ago. The bite has been stable with no pain, and the swelling has gone down. I haven't used any medication, just an itch cream for the itchiness. Is there any specific medication a doctor can suggest?

I am 48 years old, type two diabetic, and recently experienced chest pain after a severe asthma-induced cough. The pain started when I eat and is sharp when pressed. An EKG was normal, and the doctor suspects costochondritis. The pain has decreased but still lingers. How long does costochondritis typically last, and is it normal for it to persist this long?
