Tick bite and Lymes Disease

3 replies

My daughter was bitten by a tick a week ago. We removed it and googled advice which said watch out for bulls eye rash or fever and if these appear get antibiotics to guard again lymes Disease. On Weds she developed a non bulls eye rash on another part of her body. That's gone now but this morning she has another non specific rash on another unrelated part of her body. Should we see a GP at this stage?

I have a friend whose been bed ridden for twenty years due to Lymes Disease so I worry!

I had similar symptoms a few years ago so went to the out of hours GP at the weekend who prescribed antibiotics immediately. No point messing around on this one.

Far better to have an unnecessary GP visit than to miss an opportunity for early treatment. Yes, I would take her ASAP.
