How to reduce swelling from a mosquito bite on the corner of the eye

After being bitten by a mosquito near the eye, the following measures can be taken to reduce swelling: 1. **Cold compress:** Gently apply a cold towel or ice pack (wrapped in a cloth to avoid direct contact with the skin) on the bite area for 10–15 minutes at a time. This helps constrict blood vessels and alleviate swelling and itching. Be careful to avoid excessively low temperatures that may cause frostbite. 2. **Clean the area:** Wash the affected area with mild soap and water or clean water to remove bacteria and mosquito saliva from the skin surface, reducing the risk of infection. 3. **Topical medications:** Under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist, apply appropriate anti-allergic or anti-inflammatory creams or lotions, such as desonide cream or calamine lotion, to the bite area to relieve symptoms. Avoid getting the medication into the eyes. 4. **Avoid scratching:** Refrain from scratching the bite area to prevent worsening of symptoms or secondary infection. 5. **Monitor symptoms:** If the swelling persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as blurred vision or increased pain, seek medical attention promptly so that appropriate treatment can be provided based on the clinical condition.
