The following measures can be taken if a baby is bitten by a mosquito: 1. Clean the bite area with warm water and apply an antibacterial ointment to prevent infection. 2. Apply a cold compress or an anti-itch cream to relieve the baby's itching and discomfort. 3. After a mosquito bite, pay attention to mosquito protection for the baby, such as wearing long-sleeved clothing and using insect repellent, to prevent further bites. 4. If the baby develops symptoms such as fever, rash, or severe itching, seek medical attention immediately.
