LO has some itchy bug bites and woke up last night scratching and upset. Anyone have any good remedies?

My mom used to put plain white-but not whitening-toothpaste (if you can find it) on our bug bites. I still do it to this day. It keeps the itch away longer than cortisone cream or Benadryl stick and it helps draw out the venom to help it heal faster.
I have an old no name tube from the dollar store solely for this purpose.
I've heard a baking soda paste can help as well but have never tried it.

My dad is of Chinese origin and uses tiger balm. It works pretty well.

Campho-phenique. I grew up using it and still use it to this day.

@lamariniere: My in laws LOVE tiger balm and use it for EVERYTHING - headaches, nausea, pain, etc.
@PointeShoesTutus: I'll have to keep that in mind going forward! I know toothpaste helps soothes burns too!
I use cortisone cream.
