What medicine should be used for redness and swelling of mosquito bites in children?

The summer when mosquitoes are rampant can bring a lot of troubles to people's lives, because mosquito bites are very uncomfortable, especially in open areas outdoors, mosquitoes always inadvertently bring various bites to people's skin, causing skin redness, swelling and itching, which is quite uncomfortable. Especially for young children, the bites are most severe and have the greatest impact. Let’s take a look at what medicine to use for redness and swelling caused by mosquito bites on young children. I hope everyone can understand.

The first is the most convenient and direct method: make your own soapy water and apply it to the bitten area, which can quickly eliminate the baby's itchy feeling. Wait a few hours and then wash it off with warm water.

Another way is to apply household ammonia on the bite. The effect is the same as soapy water, but you have to buy it at a pharmacy in advance.

Also, for the red and swollen areas bitten, you can use salt water or a small amount of toothpaste, or mint tablets (crushed), which are also very effective.

In addition to using cold compresses to reduce swelling, you can apply some medicine to reduce inflammation and relieve itching. Common medicines that can also be used by infants and young children include comfrey ointment and Australian papaya ointment.

2. Cold compress

You can apply cold compress to the red and swollen parts of the baby to reduce the swelling.

Other household items that can be used include: watermelon rind, cut ginger, and fresh aloe vera juice.

However, in order to prevent your baby from being bitten, you should avoid taking your baby to dirty and messy places in the summer. You should also take anti-mosquito measures at home and try to use mosquito nets and less mosquito coils.
