How Do I Treat Tick Bite? |
|
Answer» Treatment is the same as that for mosquitoes; COLD water and ice can be useful to relieve itching, although ice should not be applied directly to the skin. A variety of commercial preparations can be OBTAINED from the chemist including Eurax and Stingose. In severe cases, oral antihistamines may have to be administered and if symptoms persist, a PHYSICIAN should be consulted.
