Question:

What symptoms do I look for after a tick bite?

We pulled a very large tick off my 4 year old daughters head. She is acting fine at the moment. What should I look for to know if she needs to see a doctor?


Answers:

if the tick has been attached for more than a day it is possible that lime disease or even rockey mnt.spotted fever may be contracted.look for symptoms of flu,fatigue,swelling around bite that does not go away in a couple of days.i dont want to cause panic but if you are concerned take child to doctor for test. nothing to take lightly.
