Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think I got bitten by a tick last night. I was outdoors around ten pm wearing a sweatshirt with long sleeves and felt something bite me under the sleeve. I instinctively hit it. I live in Porland, Oregon on a very woodd property. This morning I noticed a red mole like round spot with a clear needle like prick in the center on my arm wher I felt the bite. I woke up this morning with a headache, malaise and feeling sick to my stomach. I ve had fatigue and no appetite all day. What do you think?
If you think you were bitten by a tick, it is important to talk to your doctor and take prophylactic treatment for Lyme disease. This consists of antibiotics such as Doxycycline or Amoxicillin for 2-3 weeks.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
General and Family Physician
