Hi, thank you for trusting HealthReplies.com.
Swollen bumps accompanied by itching can represent several disorders, including:
1. Insect bites. This is often not realized by children, especially parents. Insect bites are mostly non-toxic. However, skin contact with insect saliva can trigger an allergic reaction in the form of itchy red bumps.
2. Hives, or in medical terms called urticaria, is an allergic reaction mainly caused by food. Complaints in the form of bumps accompanied by itching. This can also occur in people who eat seafood that is stored too long.
3. Skin infections, which are mostly caused by bacteria. Complaints in the form of wet, pus-filled bumps are painful and itchy.
You need to check your child to the nearest health service. The doctor needs to look directly at your child's skin and determine the cause. Each of the possibilities described has a different treatment.
Things you can do at home include:
1. Apply over-the-counter cold powder to reduce itching.
2. Use mosquito nets for sleeping or over-the-counter insect bite creams.
3. Give over-the-counter itching reliever medication.
4. Try not to scratch too strongly.
