Insect bite

Important points to observe:

1. Swelling of the mucous membranes and itching
2. Visible stinger or bite
3. Stings in the mouth, throat, and face area pose a risk of acute breathing difficulty
4. Signs of an allergic reaction

1. Stay calm and give the child a sense of security
2. Move to an insect-free environment and monitor the child continuously
3. Apply cooling to reduce swelling and relieve pain
4. For a bee sting, carefully remove the stinger with tweezers
5. Apply an anti-itch gel

Important: If an allergy is suspected, call emergency services 112 immediately! Do not drive the child to the hospital yourself, as symptoms could worsen during the ride. Instead, a paramedic should be called.
