hello,
my dd also has really bad reactions to mozzie bites. we recently discovered the hard way she also has serious reaction to ant bites, like bull ants or jumping jacks (we are in the country). the more she is bitten the worse reaction she has, and now we have to take her to the doctor if she is bitten.
none of this helps you!
i also have bad reactions to mozzie bites, and her father is allergic to ant bites, so its possibly hereditary.
i would keep antihistamine on hand, thats what the doctor will give anyway. they only give a needle if its super serious with swelling in the mouth etc.
When my dd was little her mossie bites would swell to the size of 20c pieces and they loved her so she would always seem to get heaps not just one or two. One dose of claratyne was usually all that was needed to settle them. The cream didn't seem to help much as she would still scratch and then the cream would hurt as the skin would be broken. I didn't like giving drugs for bites but I thought it was better than days of discomfort and itching.
Go the antihistamine. My DS has a severe allergic reaction to Mosquitos. At one point his kinder got an epi pen as they were concerned. His whole face swelled up once due to two mosquito bites and he is prone to a fever or localised body heat (ie the are will start to burn up). It's actually called skeeter syndrome.
