How to treat a mosquito bite on the eye

After being bitten by a mosquito near the eye, avoid rubbing the area to prevent worsening of eyelid swelling. A quick and effective way to relieve symptoms is to apply a cold compress locally. An ice pack or a cool towel at around 4°C can be gently placed on the bite area, which helps reduce swelling and itching. Meanwhile, it is important to keep the eye area clean. It can be gently rinsed with running water or normal saline, but avoid using harsh cleansers. If symptoms persist or worsen, such as a noticeable allergic reaction, consider using anti-allergy medications, such as fluorometholone eye drops or tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment, but always under the guidance of a physician. Furthermore, avoid self-medicating or altering the dosage of medications without medical advice to prevent adverse effects.
