POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. For treating insect bites at home, you can try the following remedies:
1. Cold Compress: Apply a cold pack or ice wrapped in a cloth to the bite area for 10-15 minutes to reduce swelling and numb the pain.
2. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with a little water to make a paste. Apply it to the bite for 10 minutes to help relieve itching and inflammation.
3. Aloe Vera: Apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to the bite. Its soothing properties can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
4. Honey: A small amount of honey can be applied to the bite to soothe the skin and help with healing due to its antibacterial properties.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar: Dilute apple cider vinegar with water and apply it to the bite. It can help neutralize the pH and reduce itching.
6. Essential Oils: Oils like tea tree oil or lavender oil can be diluted with a carrier oil and applied to the bite to reduce irritation.
7. Oatmeal Bath: For multiple bites or a rash, adding oatmeal to a warm bath can help soothe the skin.
8. Calamine Lotion: Applying calamine lotion can help relieve itching and discomfort.
9. Over-the-Counter Antihistamines: If itching is severe, consider using over-the-counter antihistamine creams or oral medications.
Always monitor for signs of allergic reactions, such as increased swelling, difficulty breathing, or widespread rash. If any of these occur, seek medical attention promptly.
