How To Treat Redness And Swelling Of Eye And Forehead Due To Mosquito Bite?
my 3 yr old daughter got a mosito bit on her eye lid and one on her forhead. It is really red and almost swollen shut. It has been that way since yesterday morning. I gave her benadryl and it has gotten any better. Can I use ice? Should I take her to be seen by a doc?

Hi,
Try giving Ibuprofen along with Benadryl and continue for 3 days. If no improvement by then, or she develops fever, kindly take her to doctor for possible need of antibiotics or steroids.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
