Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
After spending time outdoors, I recently found a tick on my body, and I am concerned about the risk of tick-borne diseases. Can you provide information about the early signs and symptoms of such diseases, and when is it advisable to seek medical attention for potential tick-borne infections?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Tick-borne diseases occur when multiple tick bites introduce infections into the bloodstream. If you do not have any bite marks on your body, there is no need to worry. The symptoms after a tick bite include fever, chills, body rashes, itching, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. If you experience any of these symptoms, please let me know so we can initiate the appropriate medication.
I hope this helps. Consult your doctor and take the medicines.
Please revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
