For red bites on a baby's face caused by mosquitoes, topical application of erythromycin eye ointment or calamine lotion can be used, without the need for oral medication. If the bite is significantly swollen and the baby is persistently crying, oral calcium gluconate solution may be administered. Additionally, a suitable amount of mometasone furoate cream can be combined with topical treatments to help alleviate and cure mild cases.
