If a child's ear is bitten by a mosquito and becomes significantly swollen, apply lincomycin and lidocaine gel first, followed by applying water boiled with Angelica dahurica. If the infection is severe, systemic medication is needed to relieve symptoms. First, erythromycin ointment can be applied to the skin surface, or oral cephalosporin antibiotics can be used.
