Question
What should you do if a nine-month-old baby’s skin becomes red and swollen after being bitten by a mosquito?
Answer
You can use external applications like mosquito repellent or glycerin to protect the baby’s skin. Additionally, since the baby might be deficient in vitamin D, it is recommended to start supplementing with vitamin D supplements, such as Icoshin, from 14 days after birth to promote calcium absorption and prevent rickets. At the same time, timely introduction of complementary foods such as iron-fortified rice cereal, egg yolks, fruit purees, and vegetable purees should ensure that the baby receives a balanced diet.
