there are several diseases ticks can cause- get him to doctor and let them figure what he has been exposed to. Rocky Mountian Fever is an illness not a tick type and you can catch it from several species of ticks.

hi, its good that they are keeping an eye on it. I had my appendix out 7 years ago and my appendix was leaking but I didnt know as I thought the pain was IBS. It eventually burst on the way down to theatre to remove it, luckily I didnt get peritonitis but was on an antibiotic drip and was off work for 6 weeks. Tell your friend to take painkillers but it the pain gets really bad to go hospital immediately. Always best to be on the safe side.

I hope that the answer is as simple as an inner ear infection, but the chances are it could be more serious.  My friend's son was vomiting every day at approximately the same time and after extensive tests they found a tumor in his head.  Everything has worked out fine and the little boy is doing well.  But I think that our bodies are amazing at letting us know when there is something wrong.  I am glad that she has a doctors appointment tomorrow.

When you say "fell on" him, was it dead or injured, or did it fly away?   If its injured or dead and nearby, get it and call Vector Control or the hmane society, maybe.  They can test to see if it had rabies.  \n\nIf not its a tough call.  A bat can scratch or bit someone with no pain, and still cause a rabies infection.  Its very rare, but it can happen.   The bummer is that rabies, if left untreated, is almost always deadly.  \n\nThere was a girl who underwent a new type of treatment several months ago and survived, but even then she was in the hospital for weeks and weeks.   Other than that I don't recall of ever hearing of anyone surviving a rabies infection.  \n\nTreatment is not like it was in the old days where you got shots in the stomach, but it is still a long and lengthy process.  Lots of shots, but only in the arm.  \n\nSoap and water on the area is a must!\n\nBut based on you added description, He should have already taken a shower, and then I'd say don't worry about it.  People who go spelunking run in to bats all the time...

How long has this been going on? If it's just been a few days, it's probably just a stomach flu or something he ate didn't agree with him. If it's been longer than a few days, there may be a medical problem that should be addressed. If this is a chronic problem, he should see a doctor immediately. Possible chronic issues could be Celiac Disease, IBS, intestinal blockage, food allergies...

Call the emergency room and ask them. You could have a very serious problem or could be minor. They should be able to help you.

You die, ha ha, no Just kidding, but If this does happen you should get checked out by Medical Doctor because ticks are known to carry "lyme disease" or you could get an infection so leave it to the trained medical professional to treat it.

Schedule an apointment with a doctor. So far, it sounds like the flu. However, if he does actually pass out, or he gets any more symptoms that make him seem worse, you should go to the ER as soon as you can. This could be a sign of something more serious than just the flu. Until then, get plenty of rest and lots of fluids. Try giving him some pieces of banana also if he has been throwing up. He might need potassium.

It sounds like an ulcer, but should have shown up with the ultrasound. Hmmm... I would contact my doctor again. I spent 4 days in the hospital last year with pains like yours, turned out to be a hiatal hernia. Good luck!

Any number of things, from common cold to a tumor. If it's been going on for 2 weeks, it's probably on the more serious end of the spectrum, and he should seek professional medical attention right away.

I would contact your doctor is you develop any unusual symptoms like fever, swelling, rash, pain. Just keep a close eye on it and keep it clean. My brothers used to get tick bites when we lived out in the middle of no where and they are still alive and kickin.  Good luck.

Infection usually occurs if the tick was attached for 36-48 hours.  It removed before that, there is far less chance of contracting Lyme Disease.  If you have contracted it, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to manifest symptoms.\n\nThe early symptoms are:\ncircular red skin rash\nFatigue or lack of energy (most common symptom) \nHeadache and stiff neck. \nFever and chills. \nMuscle and joint pain. \nSwollen lymph nodes\n\nFor more info:\nhttp://aolsvc.health.webmd.aol.com/hw/arthritis/hw77228.asp?src=AOLConditionWidget
