Mosquito Bite Advice?

Your advice on splinters was great - they did work themselves out eventually.

So now does anyone have any good advice on how to make mosquito bites stop itching? I tried using Benadryl After Bite, but they still swell up really big on Ellie and bother her.

Last year we made "Betty the Bug Bite Helper" out of a pink washcloth, fabric paint, and ice, and that helped quite a bit. That treated the psychological aspect of the bite, but now I'm looking for something that will help Ellie stop itching and go to sleep!

I just use Calamine lotion. It's much more watery than I remember it being when I was a child, but it does seem to calm the bites. I actually forget that I've been bitten... used it on a bunch of bites just the other day...
