How can parents manage insect bites and allergies?
To manage insect bites, use insect repellents that are safe for children, and dress them in long sleeves and pants when in areas with high insect activity. If a child is bitten, clean the area with soap and water, and apply an anti-itch cream or [antihistamine](#). For allergies, minimize exposure to allergens, keep windows closed during high pollen times, and consult with a pediatrician for appropriate medications.
