Mylanta to Treat Mosquito BitesWho knew that Mylanta, the antacid recommended for all sorts of tummy problems including gas and indigestion, could help soothe a mosquito bite as well? Apparently, it works; but no one seems to know how or why. Though the reasons behind its effectiveness in relieving discomfort from insect bites are a bit of a mystery, there have been many personal accounts and testimonies regarding its power to alleviate the itch. Ask your Doctor Application When using liquid simethicone as a mosquito bite remedy, you should first wash your hands thoroughly. Pour a small amount of the liquid solution onto a cotton ball, or dip a clean Q-Tip into the bottle, and apply on the area of the mosquito bite, taking care to rub it gently into the skin. Let it dry completely. If the initial application does not bring you relief, or if the bite begins to bother you again later, re-apply as often as necessary. Allergic Reactions If you have heartburn or stomach problems frequently, you may already have Mylanta in your medicine cabinet. If not, you can purchase it from any local drug store, grocery store, or super center for a nominal price. Generic brands typically contain the same active ingredient and are therefore equally effective. Simethicone is an excellent choice for treating mosquito bites since it is very safe, inexpensive, and actually works!
