What Is The Treatment For Bed Bug Bites On Arms And Neck In Children?

my kids came in contact with bedbugs when staying in a hotel overnight. Now after two weeks the see bites on their arms and back of the neck. Is this normal and how to treat. Thank You. The hotel took responsibility and washed all their clothes before coming home. I rewashed everything after they returned home a.d threw away their luggage. Had their coats proffeisonally cleaned but Iam still skeptical to reuse them. thank you

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

There is no concern , you can go ahead and use the clothing.
As there may be some itching following bite then there is no cause for concern. Local application of Calamine lotion may be helpful.
Take care

Best Regards
