How to treat bee stings

In our daily lives, we cannot avoid insect bites, which may cause unbearable itching or even pain. We should use different treatments for different insects, because the venom of some insects may be alkaline and some may be acidic. If only one treatment method is used, it may lead to worsening of symptoms. So, how should you treat a bee sting?

1. Eliminate places where mosquitoes breed in the living environment. It is best not to keep pets. If you have pets such as cats, dogs and other animals in your home, this will increase the chances of mites and fleas growing. Do not place carpets indoors, and mats need to be cleaned every day. Do not use straw woven products on the bed, because straw woven products can easily hide small insects that are invisible to the naked eye. Once straw woven products come into contact with children's skin, the insects will attack the child and cause insect bite dermatitis.

2. When playing, do not let your baby play in grass, bushes, woods, swamps, or wet places; do not let your baby touch dust; do not expose too much of the body when going out, and apply children's mosquito repellent on the exposed skin.

3. Hang a mosquito net over the baby's crib when sleeping, or use electric mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes indoors. It is best not to spray insecticides. If you must use it, put the baby outside first and wait until the smell of the medicine in the house evaporates before coming back.

4. Regularly clear weeds and debris around you; do not sleep directly on the ground; do not sit or lie down to rest in the grass or bushes.

5. Try to avoid going out to play at dusk when mosquitoes are most active.

6. Try not to turn on the lights at night to avoid attracting mosquitoes. Try to wear long clothes and long pants, and white or light-colored clothes during work or when sleeping at night. Bright colors can easily attract mosquitoes, or apply protective drugs on exposed parts of the body.

7. Do not use scented detergents, skin care products, perfumes, or shampoos. Because the fragrance can attract mosquitoes.

8. To prevent insect bite dermatitis, you must also maintain good personal hygiene. In summer, people sweat a lot and are easily attracted to mosquito bites. You should take a bath frequently to remove the sweat odor on your body. At the same time, the water temperature should not be too high, 30 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius is appropriate.

9. Change clothes and bed sheets frequently. Personal items such as mats and quilts should be washed with warm water and exposed to the sun regularly.

10. Keep the room well ventilated, clean and tidy, and avoid moisture.

11. If the baby is bitten by mosquitoes, the nails should be cut short and the baby should be told not to scratch with his hands to avoid scratching the skin. Antipruritic agents can be applied locally, such as ginseng cream, cooling oil, and wind oil. In case of secondary infection, local and systemic anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor; if it is allergic dermatitis, oral antihistamines can be taken. If necessary, you should go to the hospital's dermatology department for treatment.
