What is a natural remedy for the swelling caused by ant bites?

I don't have medicine on hand. Is there a household product I can apply to the bite to relieve the swelling?

There are a few things you can try. Baking soda and water mixed to make a paste, draws out the poison. Witch hazel, rubbing alcohol, vinegar. Oatmeal paste.

Make a paste out of baking soda and water and apply to bite to control the swelling and it also works on any insect bites that itch.

You can use baking soda. Just mix about a teaspoon of baking soda with a few drops of water to make a paste then apply to bite.
