He got a mosquito bite yesterday morning on his eyebrow. This morning he woke up and his whole eyelid was swollen. What can she do to make the swelling go away?

babies often respond to insect bites in an alarming manner.
cool compresses over his eye every hour or so will soothe and slowly decrease the swelling.
You need only take the child to a doctor if the swelling does not go down after a day or so, or gets worse even with cool compresses.

ice until tomorrow... if you aren't sure that it is a mosquito bite... it could be poison ivy in the blood stream... the swelling will normally last for 3-4 days until it isn't noticeable, anti-inflammatory might help
