A 4-month-old baby's temple was bitten by an insect.
Our 4-month-old baby has a large bump on the temple from a mosquito bite this morning. I would like to ask, what should we do if a 4-month-old baby gets bitten by a mosquito on the temple?
Doctor's answer (1)
For a 4-month-old baby bitten by mosquitoes, you can apply honeysuckle dew or Wujee ointment externally. Mosquito bites typically cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching. At this time, essential balm should not be used. An alkaline substance can be applied to relieve discomfort; for example, you can rub a wet bar of soap on the affected area. It is important to maintain cleanliness at the bite site and avoid scratching to prevent skin infection. Usually, mosquito nets should be used, and mosquito-repelling incense or insect repellent should be employed to keep mosquitoes away and prevent further bites.
