Mosquito bites and bug spray for kids

In late August 2026, the Cook County Department of Public Health reported the first West Nile virus cases of the season in suburban Cook County and rated the risk of human infection as high. The department also suggests emptying standing water around the yard each week. For children, HealthyChildren.org offers these repellent tips:
Pick the lowest DEET strength that covers the time outside; strengths above 50% do not last longer
Put repellent on your own hands first, then on your child's face, avoiding the eyes and mouth
Do not apply it to a child's hands or to cuts or irritated skin
Do not use oil of lemon eucalyptus or PMD products on children under 3
Skip sunscreen and repellent combination products, and wash repellent off when your child comes inside
Most bites only need anti-itch care. A bite that turns red, hot, swollen and painful may be infected. See bites and stings.

The Village of La Grange points to its Historic District and historic homes. Older houses mean weekend repairs, and children who wander into the work area can end up with a splinter, a small cut or a minor burn.
For a cut, HealthyChildren.org advises firm, direct pressure with clean cloth for 5 to 10 minutes, then gentle washing with soap and water
A cut that gapes, goes through the skin or is longer than about half an inch may need stitches
Cool a small burn under cool running water, and do not use ice or butter
A splinter or metal sliver that is deep or hard to reach should be removed by a clinician

When does a mosquito bite on my child need to be seen?
Come in if a bite turns red, hot, swollen and painful, which can mean a skin infection, or if your child develops a fever, headache, rash and body aches after time outdoors in summer or early fall. A clinician can examine your child and recommend next steps.
My child has a fever but is playing. Should we still come in?
A child who plays and interacts once the fever is treated is a good sign, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Have your child seen if the fever lasts more than 24 hours under age 2, more than 3 days at age 2 or older, or if you are worried.
