Mosquito bites can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications under a physician’s guidance. Additionally, oral antihistamines may be prescribed under medical supervision. If pruritus (itching) is present, anti-inflammatory agents—such as aspirin, rofecoxib, or diclofenac—may be used under a physician’s guidance. For extensive skin lesions, oral antihistamines—such as loratadine or cetirizine—may be administered under medical supervision.
