Dream - Living in a tropical country means there are many insects that sometimes bite the skin. For Dream friends who have babies and toddlers, they may often worry if the little one gets bitten by insects.
"Mosquitoes, ants, or other insects, when they bite your little one, will surely make them uncomfortable. The child's skin becomes itchy, irritated, and reddened, sometimes even causing the children to become fussy."
"If there are many insects disturbing at home, it is highly recommended to apply insect repellent cream that is widely available in the market. The scent and formula usually can keep insects away."
"If the little one's skin has already experienced itching and irritation due to insect bites, there is important treatment that needs to be done. It should not be left untreated, because sometimes the insect bite marks can worsen, spread, or even leave scars. Just follow the following steps to help alleviate it."
1. Compress with Cold Water
Because insect bites are more common during the summer season and cause itching, the best way is to apply a cloth dipped in cold water to the itchy area. This not only provides comfort to the baby but also helps reduce redness caused by insect bites on the baby's skin and soothes inflammation.
2. Cream medication
There are several safe and recommended medicines to help relieve the uncomfortable feeling caused by insect bites. You can apply calamine cream or lotion, which has antiseptic properties and a cooling effect. You can also apply antihistamine cream to control itching.
3. Cut the little one's nails
Stop the baby if he scratches the itchy area from the bite. This can worsen the itchiness and cause infection. Trim the baby's nails short as a preventive measure. An infected bite due to scratching can be marked by increased pain and redness, infected wounds, or blistered skin filled with pus.
It can also be applied to the little one to wear gloves to prevent scratching in the bite area. If a severe wound occurs and bleeds or becomes pus due to scratching, it is advisable to consult a doctor immediately to prevent it from getting worse.
