What should I do if my child gets a big swelling after being bitten by a mosquito?

Mosquitoes are very scary creatures in summer. They have a very strong blood-sucking ability. Once they attach to human skin, they will quickly pierce the skin with their mouthparts to suck fresh blood from humans. The process of extraction will make people feel pain, and some harmful viral substances will be secreted to damage people's health. Children have poor protection in summer and are most susceptible to mosquito bites. Let’s take a look at what to do if children are bitten by mosquitoes and have large swellings?

Method 1: Apply aloe vera

1. Analysis of the cause : Aloe vera has bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, sedative and antipruritic effects.

2. Recommended approach : After being bitten by mosquitoes, you can cut a small piece of aloe leaf, wash it, cut it in half, and apply it to the red and swollen area a few times to reduce swelling and relieve itching.

Method 2: Apply toothpaste

1. Cause analysis : The ointment has an anti-inflammatory effect and can effectively relieve the baby's pain and itching symptoms.

2. Recommended method : Dip a little bit of toothpaste in water and apply it evenly on the rash. However, you should pay attention to the choice of toothpaste. A toothpaste with a stronger anti-inflammatory effect or a strong alkaline property will have a better effect.

Method 3: Apply salt water

1. Analysis of the cause: Salt water has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects.

2. Recommended approach : After being bitten by mosquitoes, you can rinse the itchy area with salt water or soak directly in salt water. This can soften the lump and have an itchy effect.

Method 4: Rub the watermelon rind

1. Cause analysis : Rubbing watermelon peel can help relieve itching and reduce swelling.

2. Recommended practice: After being bitten by a mosquito, you can repeatedly apply watermelon peel to the affected area and then rinse it with clean water.

Method 5: Rub cucumber

1. Analysis of the cause : Because cucumber has a calming and anti-inflammatory effect, it can effectively eliminate swelling, pain and itching, so you might as well give it a try.

2. Recommended method : Cut the cucumber into slices or mash it into a paste and apply it on the area bitten by mosquitoes.

Method 6: Rub garlic juice

1. Cause analysis: When your baby is bitten by a mosquito, you can apply garlic on the bite to relieve the itching. Because the sulfur compounds in garlic have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and its strong sour and spicy smell can detoxify and relieve itching.

2. Recommended method : Take a piece of raw garlic, peel it, cut it into slices, squeeze out the garlic juice, and rub it on the bite repeatedly for one minute.
