My 20 month old son just got his first bug bites this weekend! There are 3 on his leg and two are big and he keeps itching making them worse! One is turning into a latge welt that feels hard because he keeps itching. Poor thing, the bugs get bad fast at our new house.

I called the doc to ask their recommendation, they said to give Benadryl - cold compress and cool bath. They recommended against the Benadryl cream saying it didn't work. I don't love the idea of giving Benadryl, but if he is still itching a lot I will do it.

Any other recs? I was putting ice on it but he really didn't like that! And it seemed to make him itch more. I could do pants too, but it's 90 degrees here! I hate Mosquitos!
