From Tears to Smiles: Healing Mosquito Bites with Love

By Phifer Mosquito Screens

Mosquito bite is a big time 'ick' for babies. Here are some gentle remedies to help alleviate the discomfort and itching. Shield your home with heavy-duty door and window mosquito screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.

Cool Compress Apply a cool compress to the affected area to reduce swelling and itching.

Calamine Lotion A thin layer of calamine lotion can provide temporary relief from itching.

Over-the-Counter Antihistamines Consult with your pediatrician before using over-the-counter antihistamine creams or oral medications on your infant.

Oatmeal Bath Add colloidal oatmeal to your infant's bath to soothe itchy skin.

Distraction Keep your infant distracted with toys or gentle play to minimise scratching.

Avoid Scratching Discourage your infant from scratching the bites, as this can lead to infection.

If you notice any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pus, or fever, consult with your paediatrician immediately. Phifer helps you shield your loved ones from mosquitoes and pesky bugs effectively.
