Hello,

Children who are sensitive to mosquito bites develop very itchy red lumps at the bite sites. If your child is bitten on the face, this can lead to marked swelling.Usually this swelling goes in a couple of days.

Apply calamine lotion on the area of this rash to help relieve the itch and an ice pack if swelling is persisting.Severe cases may require the short-term use of an antihistamine.Pls consult a pediatrician for that.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your child is doing or if you have any additional queries
