What to do if the mosquito bite causes swelling

Every summer, various mosquitoes start to bite us indiscriminately. Especially if we do not take precautions when going out, it is easy to be bitten by mosquitoes all over the body. After being bitten by a mosquito, especially a poisonous mosquito, the skin will not only become red, swollen, painful and itchy, but it may also be infected with many diseases. Let’s take a look at some simple and feasible methods in life that can effectively reduce swelling and relieve itching.

1. What should I do if the mosquito bite causes a big and hard swelling?

1. Garlic slices

Apply sliced ​​garlic repeatedly to the mosquito bite for several minutes, which has obvious analgesic, anti-itch and anti-inflammatory effects. Even if the bite has become a large lump or inflamed and ulcerated, you can rub it with garlic. Generally, the inflammation and swelling can be reduced after 12 hours, and the ulcerated wound can be healed after 24 hours. People with skin allergies should use it with caution.

2. Apply laundry detergent

When a person is bitten by a poisonous mosquito, not only will redness, swelling and blisters appear, but also itchiness will be unbearable. You can rinse the bitten area with clean water, but do not wipe it dry completely. Then use a wet finger to dip a little detergent and apply it to the bitten area. This can immediately stop the itching and the redness and swelling will disappear quickly. After the redness and swelling disappear, you can rinse off the detergent with clean water.

3. Apply soap

Because poisonous mosquitoes produce acidic venom, washing with alkaline soap is also very effective. After washing with alkaline soap, be careful not to scratch it with your hands and it will heal soon.

4. Apply toothpaste

Just dip a little bit of toothpaste in water and apply it evenly on the bruise. However, you should pay attention to the choice of toothpaste, which should have a strong anti-inflammatory effect and a strong alkaline effect, and these effects will be better!

Another method I would like to share with you is to use aloe leaves to relieve itching. We can tear a small piece of aloe leaf and rub it on the itchy area. It can also relieve itching.

6. Aspirin

Grind an aspirin pill and apply it to the wound with water to reduce inflammation and swelling.

3. How to relieve itching caused by mosquito bites
