[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently found a tick on my six year old, which I knew was there for at least 3 days. 2 days after we removed the tick, he vomited a few hours after dinner and had a slight fever. He rarely gets sick, and his brother did not get sick so I knew it wasn't bad food. I took him to our family doctor the next day because we were going out of town in a few days and I wanted to ask for antibiotics in case a bulls eye rash or more symptoms appeared while we were out of town. I also told her about him vomiting. She said she would not do anything without more symptoms or a visible rash. She said if i am concerned then we shouldn't go out of town. Think I should change doctors? Who on this forum has a doctor who is willing to prescribe antibiotics without all the symptoms?[/quote]

I mistyped above. He actually vomited the day after we removed the tick. Also I should mention he has only been on antibiotics once before for an ear infection, so there is no history of over use.[/quote]
