Morning my kids 5 and 2 get very bad swelling of mosquito bites. we use mosquito repelants and even that coils at night. im worried because they scratch themselves open at times. any advise on what to use especially the swelling ?

Swelling : In order to reduce mosquito bites swelling, you could try to elevate the affected area and apply ice to reduce swelling and pain, apply over-the-counter lotion to the affected area, clean blisters with soap and water without breaking them, if itching persists, try oral antihistamines and if the swelling progresses or the area appears infected consult your primary care provider.
