A member asked:

My 1 and 1/2 year old has bug bite on his face andleg. we have been putting calimine on it but they still bother him. can i give him benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try hydrocortisone: You may want to try some topical over the counter Hydrocortisone twice a day for just a few days and that should help the itch and reduce any swelling. Don't use it for longer than that especially on the face.
