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 apply 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. for tooth development and eruption the first important thing is that the child should not have deficiency of calcium and vitamin d. first tooth eruption can occur anytime between 6 months to 18 months of age. deficiency is there or not will be told bxy the doctor. there is no need to worry because many times the first tooth eruption may occur as late as 16 to 18 months of age also. so if your personal doctor is not worried then no need to worry from yoxur side

A. hi dear Treating itchy mosquito bites on newborns, babies, toddlers, and older kids can be done at home following the advice of your child's healthcare provider, who may suggest applying calamine lotion or over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. You can also apply a cool cloth to relieve pain and itching.
