What do you give after embedded tick?


Recommended Posts

Pulled three embedded ticks (deer tick nymphs) yesterday- one off my 5 year old with Lyme and two off my 9 year old (not diagnosed with Lyme yet...). I know some people give antibiotics prophylactically after pulling embedded ticks from endemic areas. Five year old on week 2 of doxy and still on ceftin. Nine year old takes daily zithromax. I am watching them closely fr any new symptoms or rashes, but wondering what to do.

TIA.
