Or any suggestions on how to get her to stop scratching them? Natty's got HEAPS of bites on her legs (and one under her eye but that doesn't seem to be bothering her fortunately!) and last night she was awake with them for an hour or so (as was I. Yay.) and I think she only fell back asleep cause she was exhausted.
I have tried paraderm plus and aloe vera gel (to cool her legs down as I know for me if I'm hot the itchies itch more).
Are there any other itchy-bite remedies out there anyone can recommend?
Both my kids have terrible reactions to mozzie bites. Their doctor advised us to give one dose of Claratyne (oral antihistamine) and if it's really bad a tiny amount of hydrocortisone cream and then calamine lotion. They are all available over the counter at a chemist. I find Claratyne excellent. It works really quickly and I only have to give one dose.
Soov. Its a gel you get from the chemist. DD is alergic to them and this works really well on stopping her from scratching. Shes also on Claratyne (sp) to reduce the swelling from them.
