Son is three years old and got bitten by a mosquito on both eyelids and his eyes are terribly swollen. i have a hydrocortisone cream called procutan?

Antihistamine: Aside from the passage of time, try giving him antihistamine to reduce the itching and swelling. A doctor may also prescribe a short-course of oral steroid if the swelling affects the vision.
