Baby Swelling Feet
Last Staurday night, Marc's two ankles were bitten by mosquito. I thought the little bumps will recover by itself after applying Mopiko (an off counter ointment to soothe mosquito bite). But it doesn't and Little Marc keep on scratching them until they got swollen.
Poor baby....almost the whole of his right foot is red, swollen and it feels hot in them. You know baby's skin are very sensitive but I didn't expect a mosquito bite could be this worst. I tried everything from Mopiko to Cherurub soothing gel but they don't seem to work. So, lastly I got an idea of slathering Manuka Honey UNF 15 which I have blogged previously. I never try treating a swollen skin with Manuka Honey before but I have done some research that they actually help. They are a bit sticky but at least after I applied it, Little Marc only scratched it once and I rinsed them later in the afternoon. By night I can see no more signs of redness.
Next day......
Wow the swelling is gone. Only a bit of bruising and scratch marks are visible. By Monday both feet recovered to nornal. This is great, I use food to heal my baby's feet!
