Question: Tick bite on a 9 year old
My 9 year old had a tick on him!. He removed it but there is a red spot!. Does he have to go to the doctor or do we wait and see if he runs a fever!?
I have never had to deal with this before!.
I made him rub Purell on it then we put Neosporin on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
