Yes, my 6yo DS has always been like this. The bites swell up HUGE. I just give him some benadryl as soon as I notice the bite and the swelling goes away quickly. I remember asking the ped about this a few years ago, and the doctor said that its not really an allergy, but a sensitivity that would lessen in time. I do think his reactions have decreased, but its still quite obvious.
