Methods to prevent mosquito bites include applying mosquito repellent, using air conditioning, mosquito nets, and mosquito coils. The temperature suitable for mosquito breeding is between 25°C to 30°C; when temperatures exceed 35°C, the hot and humid conditions become unfavorable, and mosquitoes may also perish. Mosquito bites typically present as redness, swelling, and itching at the bite site, which may become extensive. Firstly, it is important to promptly apply Aolijia (a topical medication), lincomycin, and lidocaine gel to the affected area on the child, followed by applying water boiled with Angelica dahurica (Baizhi).
