Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
You can give some oral antihistamines like Cetrizine at 0.25mg/kg/dose every 12th hourly and for local application on skin you can use calamine lotion.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
