For immediate relief from intense itching the absolute best local remedy is Siddhalepa balm. You can buy this herbal Ayurvedic ointment at any tiny street kiosk or supermarket. Dabbing a tiny amount directly onto the bite cools the skin and stops the swelling rapidly.

If the bites become heavily inflamed and painful simply walk into any local pharmacy and ask for a standard antihistamine cream like Hydrocortisone. Pharmacies here are incredibly helpful and you do not need a prescription for bite creams.
