It's summer again with very hot weather. The most annoying thing about summer is not only the hot weather, but also mosquitoes.

After being bitten by mosquitoes, it will have some impact on their health. You should use some mosquito repellent methods to try to prevent your baby from being bitten by mosquitoes. You should also understand some ways to deal with mosquito bites on your baby. What should you do if your baby becomes red, swollen and blistered after being bitten by mosquitoes?

What to do if your baby gets blisters after being bitten by a mosquito

The baby may have an allergic reaction caused by mosquito bites. Children with allergic constitutions generally have more severe reactions, so small blisters will appear on the red and swollen areas. Allergic constitution is a special constitution of the baby. It cannot be cured, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. The more intense the reaction, the faster the body produces antibodies and the faster the disease will heal. However, if the reaction is too intense, it may cause damage to the body, and you will have to go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

If your baby develops blisters after being bitten by a mosquito, parents must pay attention that these blisters cannot be popped by themselves, as infection may easily occur after popping them. Therefore, parents must also prevent their babies from scratching the blisters themselves.

If you find water flowing from the place where you were bitten by a mosquito, parents should not panic. Mosquitoes are highly poisonous and the flowing water is detoxifying. The area will be healed after the water stops flowing.

You can apply some anti-allergic and antipruritic ointments on the blisters, such as baby eczema ointment, naughty baby ointment, etc. These medicines generally do not contain hormones and are suitable for babies, but they have some contraindications, and you must consult a pharmacist before use. There are also ointments like Wuji Cream and Youzhuoer, which have anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and analgesic effects and are very effective in treating mosquito bites. The ingredients they contain have little side effects on babies and can also be applied. Older babies can also be given anti-allergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, and astemizole orally, also under the guidance of a doctor.
