"I found a tick on my 7-year-old boy. What should I do now that my partner has removed it?"

If you have found a tick on your child, it is recommended to take the tick to the hospital or your doctor in order to have it tested for infection. If the tick has been attached for less than 24 hours and there is no sign of infection, you can simply monitor the site of the bite for any changes. If you notice redness expanding over the following days, it is advisable to seek medical advice. In some cases, antibiotics may be recommended for children under 8 years old who have been bitten by a tick.
