For red, swollen, and hardened areas caused by insect bites in children, antiallergic medications suitable for children can be selected, such as loratadine suspension or levocetirizine hydrochloride oral solution. If the hardened area is significant, it indicates a more severe inflammatory response, and anti-inflammatory medications such as azithromycin dry suspension or cephalosporins may be considered for treatment. Topical application of fusidic acid cream can also be used.
