What Could Causes Rashes Around Bug Bites Along With Vomiting, Constant Nausea And Random Headaches
Question: Hi, I recently have been bit by an unidentified bug in 3 locations, there is a red rash around each bite, the bites are around the calf area causing much swelling of my lower leg and ankle. I have vomited twice already and have been having constant nausea and random headaches for two days no. I also feel weak and tired. What should I do?
Brief Answer:
Symptoms suggestive of Lyme disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Red rash around the bite and flu-like symptoms such as a headache, nausea, and fatigue suggestive of Lyme disease. It may cause joint swelling as well. Lyme disease is caused by infection - Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted to humans by tick bites.
You should visit your doctor/nearest healthcare center to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment without any further delay. It is treated easily at this early stage. Treatment includes prescription based oral antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Please, let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you
