According to Dr. Suresh Gowda, Consultant – Pediatrician and Neonatologist, Motherhood Hospitals, HRBR Layout, Bangalore, “Insects like mosquitoes, ants, and bees are more active during the summer months, increasing the chance of toddlers getting insect bites and stings. These bites can cause itching, swelling, pain, and allergic reactions. To protect kids, use insect repellents made for children, dress them in long sleeves and pants when outdoors, and avoid areas with stagnant water where insects usually breed.”
