A child's hand is swollen after being bitten by a mosquito

It is normal for children to be bitten by mosquitoes, because mosquitoes generally like people with fast metabolism, and children are in the process of development, so their body metabolism is also relatively fast. After being bitten by a mosquito, the baby will inevitably feel a certain amount of itching, and the affected area will also become swollen. At this time, parents must take certain methods to reduce swelling and relieve itching for the child.

1. How to reduce swelling after being bitten by a mosquito

Method 1: Apply garlic slices.

Apply sliced ​​garlic repeatedly to the mosquito bite for several minutes, which has obvious analgesic, anti-itch and anti-inflammatory effects. Even if the bite has become a large lump or inflamed and ulcerated, you can rub it with garlic. Generally, the inflammation and swelling can be reduced after 12 hours, and the ulcerated wound can be healed after 24 hours. People with skin allergies should use it with caution.

Method 2: Apply laundry detergent.

When a person is bitten by a poisonous mosquito, not only will redness, swelling and blisters appear, but also itchiness will be unbearable. You can rinse the bitten area with clean water, but do not wipe it dry completely. Then use a wet finger to dip a little detergent and apply it to the bitten area. This can immediately stop the itching and the redness and swelling will disappear quickly. After the redness and swelling disappear, you can rinse off the detergent with clean water.

Method 3: Apply soap.

Because poisonous mosquitoes produce acidic venom, washing with alkaline soap is also very effective. After washing with alkaline soap, be careful not to scratch it with your hands and it will heal soon.

Method 4: Apply toothpaste.

Just dip a little bit of toothpaste in water and apply it evenly on the bruise. However, you should pay attention to the choice of toothpaste, which should have a strong anti-inflammatory effect and a strong alkaline effect, and these effects will be better!

3. Tips for killing mosquitoes at home

1. Remove garbage and leave no dead corners. Apart from the living environment of mosquitoes, mosquitoes like places with sewage, so it is particularly important to keep your home clean. Some people live in poor environments with a lot of stagnant water around them, so they need to spray pesticides frequently. This not only makes it difficult to kill mosquitoes, but also costs a lot of money. So you might as well use some physical methods to kill mosquitoes. Clean up garbage in time and don't leave any dead corners.

2. Kill mosquitoes with soapy water. Put a basin in the house with soapy water made of soap and laundry detergent to attract mosquitoes to lay eggs in the water. This alkaline environment is not suitable for mosquitoes to survive, so after a few days, the basin will be filled with many dead young mosquito eggs.

3. Electric mosquito swatter. The electric mosquito swatter uses electricity to form an electric grid on the net surface. After hitting the mosquito, the current passes through the mosquito's body and burns the mosquito to death. However, do not place the electric mosquito swatter in a place where it can be easily touched by babies.

4. The temptation of the sugar water bottle. Fill an empty wine bottle with 10 ml of sugar water solution, shake it gently a few times to make the inner wall of the bottle stick to the sugar solution, and place it in places where mosquitoes are active. Mosquitoes smell the sugar and enter the bottle and get stuck to death.
