What can i give to my baby that 3 for a mosquito bite on the eyelid ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Local care: Oral Benedryl is appropriate to give to a 3 year old with an insect bite. Washing the area with soap and water and applying antibiotic ointment twice daily is usually advised. Since sensitive tissues of the face can become quickly infected, close monitoring is necessary. Redness, pain, warmth, and swelling are always concerning symptoms.
