Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
The allergic symptoms in children caused by insect bites are known as papular urticaria, a common type of insect bite dermatitis. The symptoms include redness, swelling, heat, pain, and intense itching at the bite site; severe cases may develop blisters and erosion. Clinically, treatments such as Hassner solution can be used to relieve itching and reduce allergic reactions. Topical applications of paeonol cream or furfural alcohol cream may also be used for their antiallergic effects. Patients with severe symptoms can take antihistamines such as cetirizine.
