How to soothe mosquito bite itch

Mosquito bites cause itching and swelling due to the insect's saliva triggering an immune response. Experts suggest both heat and cold can temporarily distract the nervous system from itch sensations, though cold is often preferred for its numbing and anti-inflammatory effects. Other remedies include anti-itch creams, antihistamines, calamine lotion, and a baking soda paste.
