Over the last several days, I seem to be getting bug bites. A few days ago, four bites appeared on my right arm, two on the forearm, two on the bicep. Then last night, I noticed a new bite on my left foot. Then tonight, two new ones showed up on my right arm, one on the forearm and one by itself on the other side of the forearm. I was almost certain they were mosquito bites, but it has been 3-4 days and I havenā€™t seen a single bug. Is it normal for a mosquito to feed in the house for several days and go undetected? Can someone confirm these are most likely mosquito bites and not bed bugs? I have a newborn and am concerned about having to get rid of them and where I would go with him.

I experience head pain when I cough, have a strong bowel movement, or bend over. I've been on anti-seizure medication (Lamotrigine) for many years. How long have you had the cough? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the cough? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
