Patient's question:
Since it was hot, the sister-in-law put a bellyband on her nephew. Later, she accidentally got bitten by mites and developed red and swollen symptoms. The sister-in-law was very worried and didn't know what to do. Please ask what to do after being bitten by mites.Doctor's answer:
After being bitten by mites, do not scratch frequently to avoid skin damage and infection. If you want to relieve itching and swelling, you can use cold compresses to reduce swelling. Place a damp towel in the refrigerator or wrap it around ice cubes and apply it to the bitten area for continuous cold compresses. Applying cold compresses every 2-3 hours helps reduce swelling. Various topical anti-itch creams can be used, but avoid using steroid creams. These medications are not suitable for infants for long-term use, usually for three days, not exceeding one week.
