Avoid flea exposure: Keep the bite sites clean and apply a small dab of antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin to avoid infection. Decrease itching with after-bite. Rid your home of fleas with the assistance of an exterminator and treat your flea-ridden animals. Then protect them with monthly flea treatment.

I have a 13 month old with 3 big bug bites. I believe it might be ant bites or flea. They are quarter size big and they are itchy because she has scratched them. Can I use children's Benadryl itch cooling gel? Her current weight is 17 lbs.
