Poor Mallory has always had horrible reactions to bug bites and her first mosquito bite of the season didn’t disappoint. She was actually bitten down by her thumb but her entire hand is swollen up. It is puffy like a big Minnie Mouse hand. We put Caladryl on it this morning but daycare still called to report that it felt warm and was itchy. I gave her some Benadryl tonight and it seemed to reduce some of the swelling and she wasn’t itching it as much. I get some nice welts from mosquito bites so she definitely gets this allergy from me. Unfortunately we live in mosquito-ville so it happens around these parts this time of year. Poor pumpkinhead.
Wow… poor girl!
