Depends how old child is? I have used sting aid which works but smells bad. But my kids get a pretty bad reaction so doctor told me to use a steroid cream (eczema cream) and phenergan. But my best tip is esp during summer make sure your kids are eating Vegemite (sandwich, toast or on a cracker) at least once a day. Not sure what’s in it but the mozzies don’t bite!
May sound a bit out there, but my son gets munched by mozzies and toothpaste seems to work (not the gel kind – the white paste). Teatree oil is also good, but you’ll have to be careful on delicate skin
Tea tree oil for adults. When it is a baby/toddler , the childhood nurse told me only need to wash the bite under cold water for a few days , no need to apply anything as it is more hygienic. It worked .
Aloe Vera – it works straight away and stops the itch – really good on sunburn and midgie bites too. We have a plant and you just break off a leaf and apply the gel
Bi carb & water into a paste is good on small babies & if you see them scratching a cold spoon out of the freezer to put on it works wonders.
I have just seen some new ones though, will have to try the vick now that my daughter is older.
