Infected Mozzie Bites While Pregnant

[CrazyLady]

I noticed mozzies seemed to like me more when pregnant and they seemed to be larger, itcher and more inflamed but didn't get an infection at all. Hoping it clears up soon hun!

Im not sure but are there any antihistamines you can take while PG? I get bitten badly all the time and the once worst time I was dosed up with phenergan to take the pain and itching away. (I was only 14 and was COVERED in them, I still have scars now)

I hope the ABs kick in and you dont need to be admitted, hope its better soon.

I think polaramine but not in the 3rd trimester.
I havn't had the bad infected bites from mozzies but I did from midgies. Luckily it was earlier in this pregnancy and was able to take the polaramine. Pawpaw ointment really cleared them up. I still have scaring from them!

Thanks ladies..

When i went to the chemist yesterday she suggested an antihistamine and when i mensioned im pregnant she said oh yeh hmmm and went on to get me the sigmacort. Might have to do some more research but yeh bordering on the 3rd trimester unfort.
Ive been using the sigmacort on my ankle thats the bad one but calamine lotion with bandaids over it has been working well on the others so far, as for the itch.
Feels better over night, but did have my foot raised on a pillow over night, so guess will see what happens once its gets some blood back into it.

Thanks for your replies.
