My child was stung by an insect on the eyelid, what should I do?

If your child has been bitten by an insect on the eyelid, it is important to refrain from applying Benadryl cream as it can increase redness and the risk of an allergic reaction. Instead, you can apply ice wrapped in a damp towel for 10 minutes at a time to reduce swelling. Depending on your preference, you can consider giving your child Benadryl or Reactine orally to help decrease the reaction. If the redness continues to spread despite these measures, it is important to consult a doctor promptly.
