Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for query .Mosquito sometimes act as a carrier for certain disease causing germs.So the swollen eye lide could be because of infection caused by insect bite or allergic reaction due to bite.

I would suggest you to take your son to pediatrician to prevent it to become complicated.Doctor may prescribe antihistamine drugs ,streroid cream or antibiotics.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
