Posted on Tue, 16 Jul 2019
Question: I went to the Doctor on Sunday, I thought i might have Lyme disease. I had a tick bite and showed it to the Doctor. He said it says a dog tick, his diagnosis was a viral infection. When I saw him I did not have a fever the last two days I have. I have had prostitus, but it has been a long time ago, I do see a urologist once a year. I’m just wondering how long I should wait to go back to the Dr?

Brief Answer:
You may wait three to five days to see the urologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.

This infection can usually last from three to five days.

So, you may wait this period to see the urologist.

If the symptoms continue I suggest other examinations such as a urine test and a urine culture to help through the diagnosis.

Meanwhile, for the fever you can use Acetaminophen 500 mg three times a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
