my daughter had a tick and i pulled it out and i think the head is still in there?
Question:
Answers:
I go fishing frequently and ticks can occasionally be an issue. It's probably going to be OK. If she was a little older you could use a tiny pair of pointy tweezers to remove the head, but at her age I suppose she wouldn't like that too much. The head is very small (think grain of sand or smaller) and should either work itself out through natural sloughing off of skin cells over time, or more likely will be dissolved by antibodies. Inspect the site periodically for redness/tenderness, signs of an infection, but I doubt you'll have a problem. If there have been cases of Lyme disease in your area, take her in just to be safe. Hope this helped.
Other Answers:
Yeah, that can become infected easily. Depending on your location, ticks carry lyme disease, so it never hurts to be aware and see the doctor.
I'd take her to the doctor. Put some vinegar on it. It will come right out.
You have to burn the spot where the head is stuck. It will cause lime disease if it is still in there. I work for a vet with dogs and cats.
If the head is still in her skin, then yes. It can become infected if the head is not removed.
Next time you should put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and put it on the tick until it backs out of the skin. It might still work with just the head, but I am not for sure. You could at least try. a small dab of gasoline on the end of a Q-tip will kill it. I dont know about removing, maybe just squeeze alittle.
def go see a doctor dont want a baby getting kime desease
it's probably best to see a doctor now, especially since ticks carry lime disease, so she may need to get tested. If you ever find ticks again here's a good tip. Light a match and blow it out. Place the warm match head against it's body. The tick will unborrow it's head and try to move away from the heat, then you can get it off. Probably not a good idea to place a warm match on a baby though. While you're at the doc. ask him how to remove them safely.
she needs to see a doctor or she could end up with an abcess and lyme disease
