What is this I’ve found on my daughters head? Is it a tick?

My daughter, 5, has had a temperature of 40 all night. Been in with me, sleeping in her knickers to keep her cool. Had some calpol.

This morning I’ve woken up to take her temperature and found what I think is a tick but I’m not sure?

I’ve pulled it out - and thrown it away - but it was alive when I pulled it out. Should I get my daughter checked over by a GP?

Did you get prescribed antibiotics for the tick bite? My son had one in his leg, took him walk in and it was removed but they refused to prescribe antibiotics for him.

put a circle around the red bit of bite, and check daily, if it grows go the GP, observe for flue like symptoms.
