Antibiotic Ointment

• If the insect bite has a scab on it and the scab looks infected, apply an antibiotic ointment 3 times per day.
  • Cover the scab with a Band-Aid to prevent scratching and spread.
  • Repeat washing the sore, the antibiotic ointment and the Band-Aid 3 times per day until healed.
  • Caution: For spreading infections (redness or red streaks), your child needs to be seen.
