What Causes Bruising And Swelling After Removing Tick From Child S Testicle?

My son is 4 and had a tick on his testicle I removed the tick and the next day/today his testicle looks bruised and there is swelling to the left of it into his groin area it is puffy and red. He says it doesn t hurt and he is not having a problem going to the bathroom. Is that type of swelling normal?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry.
By what you quote it seems that your child probably has got tick bite.
In tick bite, there is swelling and redness at the site of bite.
In my opinion, you should give syrup hydroxyzine 0.25 mg/kg three times a day for 3 days.
Review back after 2 days.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.

Regards
