A. mosquito bite is very common. So for this, you can apply ice pack for 10 minutes to reduce swelling. Anything then you can apply some lotion like a Alamine lotion or anti itch lotion like ritch lotion you can also use some antihistaminic medicine if required for the prevention, keep mosquitoes away from the expose skin by make the child wear, long sleeve shirts, long pants and hsocks. Try to stay indoor specially in the evening time, avoid going in the damp areas

A. it is important to prevent mosquito bite by using other mosquito nets and the second option would be mosquito repellent vaporizer. there are also available cloth roll on. you can axpply mosquito repellent cream on the skin if it is not causing any allergy. make the child wear full clothes to decrease the chances of bite and if a bite occurs you can apply coconut oil to decrease the sensation. also can use atarax anti itch lotion/ ritch lotion to decrease itching.
