What should I do if my child is bitten by a mosquito and the area is swollen?

Summer is coming soon. What many friends hate most is the mosquitoes buzzing and flying around in the summer. Mosquitoes are not only annoying, but they also bite people's skin, always making people swollen and itchy. Mosquitoes especially like to bite children's skin. So how can we prevent it? Let me introduce it to you below.

It is caused by allergy to mosquito toxins. Timely treatment will be good. Treatment after the bite:

1. Most people will experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching and pain after being bitten by mosquitoes. At this time, alkaline substances can be used to relieve the symptoms. For example, ammonia water can be used to relieve the itching, or soap dipped in water can be applied to the red and swollen area, which can relieve the itching within minutes.

2. If the bite is very itchy, flick it with your fingers first, and then apply floral water, wind oil, etc.

3. Apply or soak the itchy area with salt water, which can soften the swelling and effectively relieve itching. 4. The juice in aloe leaves can be used to relieve itching. If the area becomes red, swollen and itchy after being bitten by a mosquito, you can cut a small piece of aloe vera leaf, wash it, break it apart, and apply it to the red and swollen area a few times to reduce the swelling and relieve the itching. 5. Light a match, blow it out, and then roast the area bitten by the mosquito. You can also apply toothpaste, mercurochrome, or some Wuji ointment which has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and analgesic effects. 6 Break a garlic clove and apply the cut surface to the mosquito bite. It will heal in a moment and relieve itching (this method is especially suitable for pregnant women bitten by mosquitoes). In short, to prevent mosquito bites, you should: develop good habits to avoid mosquito harassment; keep clean and keep cool; prepare early and prevent early.

We know that when children are bitten by mosquitoes and become swollen, it is because the toxins are not eliminated. As summer is approaching, especially when there are many mosquitoes, we should choose to take more precautions for children. If children are bitten, we can choose to use the above method to apply treatment on them.
