How To Care For A Child Bitten By Lots Of Mosquitoes?

my three year old nephew I was near beach with him last night there were mosquitos but I was rushing to leave by the time we left and on the way home he has about fifty bites on his body and now swollen eyes. I am very upset not sure what to do? We gave benadryl wat to do next? I am not sure what kind of bite it could have been ? Florida beaches?

In my opinion you may apply calamine lotion over the bite marks. It will be better in a day or two. Consult a doctor if the bite marks become inflamed or infected.
