    Use ice on the infected area, to reduce the swelling and itching. Try not to scratch it too much because it may irritate the skin more. You can also use Benadryl sprays and cortisone creams these will give a soothing effect.

      It is matter of child health. The medicines which are safe in adults might not be in adult. I advise you to visit a doctor and discuss about the anti allergy medicines and application of hydrocortisone cream.
