Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Is there any chance that the head of the tick could have remained buried? They are extremely difficult to remove and the body can easily be broken off and the head remain in the skin! I would check again, although it could be just a delayed reaction to the poison. Can you try homeopathy? Deb > My 5-year-old had a tick on him 2-3 days ago. We pulled it off carefully > and went on. Today, he complained of a headache.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I would think that there is a possibility of a tick induced disease. If it were my child, I would have an evaluation by an MD promptly. OT: Ticks > My 5-year-old had a tick on him 2-3 days ago. We pulled it off carefully > and went on.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I'm in Oklahoma, no homepath. It was an average size tick and the site is just a tiny tiny scab now. No rash, no swelling, no redness. He was feverish on and off last night, but stopped vomiting around 11 PM (of course, nothing left to vomit). He was very restless and cried a lot. This morning, he just woke up so it's hard to say if he'll throw up, but he says there is something stuck in his throat and still crying.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 well, an MD would get you drugs. So, there are other options.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 how does a phone session work? I would definately be interested in that!! My husband pulled it off and so far, he always has got the head with it. He kills them afterwards.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 A diagnosis (of tick induced disease) would be what I would want to rule out. and I don't mean just visual inspection of the bite. Is there a blood test for this? If the child was diagnosed, then I could research medication options and decide on that --- OT: Ticks > > > > > >> My 5-year-old had a tick on him 2-3 days ago.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 My concern is declining medications. If they just prescribed something, I could take the prescription and move on. They would never know the difference. However, what if they want to give him medication on the spot? or a shot? How do you decline it??

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Dorinda, I can vouch that long distance treatment works very well (with the right homeopath, and I trust Sheri's recommendations 110%!) My homeopath is in India (I am in Kentucky) and my family has worked with her for nearly 3 years. Our dog's homeopath is in South Carolina. Unfortunately there are few true classical homeopaths in the U.S. so long distance consultations are pretty common. I hope your son is feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 With homeopathy one doesn't need a diagnosis. A homeopath works with what symptoms a person is exhibiting regardless of the cause. Conventional medicine will only suppress the dis-ease and lead to more complications down the road. Kay OT: Ticks > > > > > >> My 5-year-old had a tick on him 2-3 days ago.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 That's great to hear!!! Seth is feeling better, but he just now took his first sips of water. If it's still down in 15-30 minutes, I will start to think we are on the mend. =) He took a sip this morning and threw up back up. He hasn't had a fever since waking up this morning and he says his head only hurts when he moves his eyes around alot.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I didn't! He's still not himself, but no throwing up or fever still. He's hungry, but hasn't eaten yet aside from a few crackers. I have just been letting him have water. It's hard to not treat at all, but seems to be better in the end. =) Dorinda Mommy to Seth and Saron RE: OT: Ticks Great Don't do anything to suprress his symptoms - no meds at all.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I just pulled a tick off my daughter. I have the tick and am sending it to a lab. What tests do you recommend. Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
