Mosquito Bite Remedy

Treating Mosquito Bites
Mosquito bites are usually not a serious problem and do not require any treatment. Just avoid scratching them and they should be fine.

If you do scratch, the area will become more irritated and continue to itch. If you want to try something extra, here are a few suggestions.

• Apply Calamine lotion to the bite.
• Mix water and baking soda into a paste and put it on the bite.
• Take an anti-histamine to reduce swelling and itching.
• Take an ibuprofen or naproxen to lower swelling.
