We have done the first treatment for scabies. But is it normal that the next day the infected person has more bumps?

Yes, it is normal for the person affected by scabies to have more bumps the day after the first treatment. This can be due to a reaction of the skin to the treatment, causing more itching and lesions to appear. It may take 1 to 2 weeks for the skin to heal completely and for the bumps to disappear. If the itching is still bothersome, a product like Aveeno™, sold in pharmacies, can help reduce the itching sensation.
