What to do if a child is bitten by a mosquito and becomes red and swollen

Young children have delicate skin and are most likely to experience allergies and redness and swelling after being bitten by mosquitoes. This is because mosquitoes carry viruses on their bodies, and babies' antibodies are not strong enough to resist these viruses, which can cause allergies. The wounds caused by mosquito bites can be relieved by applying a small amount of floral water or using soap to reduce swelling, or using aloe vera to repair them.

When a mosquito bites a person, it releases an acidic liquid, which is the culprit! According to the principle of acid-base neutralization, alkaline liquid can be used to neutralize this part of the acid and relieve the pain. A common alkaline daily necessity in our daily life is soap. After being bitten by a mosquito, quickly scrub the wound with soap, the itching effect is obvious!
