Welcome to the ChatDoctorI have gone through your question and understand your concerns. It seems that your child is suffering from an inflammatory reaction secondary to an insect bite. Many a time, our bodies release inflammatory mediators especially histamines in response to the insect bites. These lead to such type of skin lesions which are usually associated with irritation and prone to abrasion by itching. Due to inflammation, mild fevers are normal association. So, I would recommend you to use Lactocalamine for local application on skin lesion 3-4 times a day for soothing and early healing. You may give your baby acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup for fever is it occurs and repeat the dose after 6-8 hours if fever persists. In case the inflammation is more, also start an antihistamine such as Ben Chat Doctor. Hopefully this will help. I would be happy to help you with any further queries. Take care
