My one year old daughter has a ton of mosquito bites on her legs from being in a walker in the hose. Calamine lotion isn't doing the trick.(yes I used bug lotion,guess it didn't work) I know west nile virus is dangerous,any others? And any remedies?

put some Witch Hazel on her legs.. It will help with the itching also. I got attacked one year and had about 100 bites on each leg... I put it on my legs 2-3 times a day and within a couple days it had dried them up and I had minimal scaring.... I would check with the dr office and make sure it wouldnt cause her any more problems.. but I have used it on my kids before and never had a problem.. good luck

I would think it would be more like flea bites since it is on her legs. If it is to hot to cover her legs up then try covering her legs with vaseline before putting her in the walker. Another thing you can try is sneaking some garlic into her food and they wont bite her any more. For the bites she already has if there are NOT alot alot of bites put a piece of scotch tape over the bites or at least the ones that are the itchyest. I know it sounds crazy but it works to stop the itch.

Rite Aid has their own brand of Benydryl lotion in a bottle that works great for the itch. Check it out.
Also, a co-worker told me today that Dawn dishwashing liquid works too. I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure.
But the Benydryl does work... I know, because my feet are totally covered with mosquito bites too!!!

Give her the appropriate dose of childrens Benadryl and keep applying Calamine or hydrocoritsone cream.

Give her some liquid benadryl. It will kill the itch and help get rid of the swelling from the mosquito bites, so at least she won't scar and be miserable. Plus, she'll sleep really well, and so will you. :)

Just like everyone said, Benedryl. An oatmeal bath can help sooth, the pharmacy sells the oatmeal bath mix (not breakfast oatmeal!).

well i guess u have to fumigate your house and start putting up screens in windows and doors....or have a general clean up since mosquitos thrive in watery places like drainages, conatiners, at roof canals, empty conatiners....about your children, maybe u should try other products and keep them wearing pajamas ( keep it light and breathable)

Malaria is transmitted through bites. (Rare)
