Mosquito bite. Treatment and prevention

It would seem a trifle, but how unpleasant! The itching and redness are not the worst, but a possible allergy to mosquito bites will bring more problems . Someone is exposed to it and knows that the allergy will necessarily develop. For others, this turn of events may turn out to be a vexing surprise. And the fact that until now you have not suffered from allergic reactions to either mosquitoes or anything else does not mean that there will not be an unpleasant complication even now. So deduce for yourself as an axiom such sequence: a mosquito bite - treatment. About what needs to be done, read on.

Mosquito bite. Treatment is compulsory

After reading this, someone just grins, they say, what nonsense, still waste time and money to fight such a trifle! And it will be wrong. Mosquitoes are a much more serious threat than it seems at first glance. About the first possible complication - allergies, we already said. However, there is something to add. Allergy allergy is different, and someone can simply "sprinkle" or cover with itchy spots (which is also very unpleasant), and someone may well develop anaphylactic shock. In the latter case, an ambulance arrived immediately. Agree that in all respects it is easier to drink an antihistamine immediately after the bite of a winged bloodsucker, which should be in good order in any home medicine cabinet. And if a mosquito bitten a child? And he had an allergic reaction, you need to call in "03", at least just for consultation. A specialist at that end of the wire will certainly ask how the kid reacted to the trouble, ask him to describe what the place of the bite looks like, and recommend which preparation to give to prevent allergies. Remember: mosquito bites in children cause serious consequences much more often than in adults!

There is another possible problem, which can be caused by the same mosquito bite, malaria. Do not believe the rumors that this attack in Russia was won - nothing of the sort! Every year hundreds of our fellow citizens suffer from it.

Mosquito bite: treatment and prevention

Of course, not all mosquitoes carry malaria. It is not difficult to distinguish an "infectious" insect from a healthy one. The mosquito that threatens malaria is sitting almost upright (the abdomen of the usual mosquito is parallel to the plane on which it is located), and its tentacles along the length almost coincide with the length of the proboscis (in the usual mosquito they are much shorter). But how high is the probability that you will have time to consider how an insect that bitten you or your child looked? Therefore, if you feel a deterioration after a bite, immediately go to the doctor!

In case of redness of the bite, it is recommended to burn it with iodine or zelenka, tincture of calendula, vodka, it is possible to lubricate even with the medicine "Corvalol". Also in pharmacies are now being given modern drugs to lubricate redness.

Tell mosquitoes "no!"

Itching, redness, allergy, malaria (and a whole bunch of diseases, which can reward you an insect that received pathogens from its previous victim), and the cause of everything - an ordinary mosquito bite. Treatment, especially timely, of the problem of you, of course, relieve, but it's much better to prevent a mosquito attack! Moreover, there are simply a huge amount of protective equipment: creams, ointments, gels, sprays, fumigators - to choose the most suitable will not be difficult. Remember is only that each tool has its pros and cons. So, creams and gels are most convenient in application and often have a broader spectrum of protection (not only from mosquitoes, but also from midges, ticks and other bloodsuckers), but sprays have a longer lasting effect. But the agent from a can can get in eyes or respiratory ways (that is dangerous most of all, if there are children nearby). Fumigators can not be used in homes where there are kids and pets. By the way, it is better for children to choose special children's means. They are created on the basis of natural components and essential oils and have a minimum of side effects.

In a word, take the choice of a protective remedy seriously, then mosquitoes will not spoil you either picnic, nocturnal sleep, no trip to the mountains.
