Hello,

Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.

Please kindly upload a photo of the tick bite so I can have a look at it and advise accordingly- I will evaluate if it is infected, and if you need local or oral antibiotics.

Also, let me know if you have any other general symptoms.

You can simply upload/attach the photos at the reports section of this web page.
