What Are The Side Effects Of Bed Bug Bite?
We were travelling on a train and in the night, my son aged 4yrs was bitten by bed bugs which were there on the berth. Both his ear lobes are swollen and feels heavy. We have applied an ointment called T-bact and have applied cold press. Kindly advise if anything else needs to be done. Thank you

Hello there,
Since your son is young therefore a small bite may appear much worse than him than an adult. If there is no fever than you can give him levo-cet(half a tablet) once a day. Also Also BECLATE/BECDERM ointment can be applied on the red/swollen area twice a day. If the swelling does not go down in 3 days you need to take him to a doctor and get him examined further,
thank you for your query,
