Suggest Treatment For Red Ring Bite Mark With Swelling In Body
Hi, I was reading online that the symptoms of a tick bite are muscle aches and fatigue. And recently I was bit by something, and it left a huge red ring around it. I have started getting muscles pains in my legs and in my arms where they feel like they are swelling, and I m starting to seriously wonder. Please help me.
Hi. As per your case history of tick bite, my treatment advice is - 1. Apply ice on the affected part twice daily to reduce inflammation. 2. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 3. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
