Sensitive to mosquito bites?
My little boy (4) is very sensitive to mosquito bites, he swells up after every bite. The skin becomes very hot swollen and sometimes purple, and sometimes a boil will form. if the bite is on his foot - he can't put his shoe on because it's so swollen. if on his cheek his eye will shut and it will look as if he has candy in his mouth. I want to add that he is also allergic to grass. How can I help him? (so far I give him antihistamines and dab cream with antibiotics) but it doesn't seem to help much.

Hi, Im sorry to hear about your sons reaction to the mosquito bites. Unfortunately its a very common thing we see amongst young kids during the summer. My recommendation is to try topical Benadryl or hydrocortisone cream two to the times a day to control the symptoms. Its very important to make he doesnt scratch the bites as this increases the rush of infection.
