You can apply or rinse the swollen finger of a baby with salt water, or use products such as flower dew water. Mosquito bites may cause skin allergies or toxic reactions, leading to local redness, swelling, and pain. Since mosquito venom is acidic, soaking the affected area in soapy water can neutralize the acidity of the toxin and quickly relieve itching. It is important to keep the skin clean and avoid scratching, as this may cause infection.
