Suggest Remedy For Rashes On Feet Post A Tick Bite In Toddlers

My 4 year old son was bit by a tick(in his scalp) in Southampton, NY, about 2 1/2 weeks ago. We removed the tick right away and cleaned sight wth soap and water. He now has a red rash that is slightly swollen on one of his feet with a slight temperature. Could this be related and do I need to seek treatment?
