About 2 weeks ago my daughter had a tick attached to her head. We removed it with tweezers and as far as I know we got the "head" out, after we removed it, there was a red bump on the area, now there is still a bump, it is smaller than it was and is not red anymore but it is hard. Also last night at bed time she started to complain of a headache ( she has never complained of a headache before) and I asked her to point to where it hurt and she pointed to an area close to the tick bite, then I asked her if it just hurt to touch or if it hurt inside her head, she said inside her head like it was pounding, then about 15 minutes later she said that it went away, then another 15 minutes she said that it hurt again, I took her temp, it was normal. She went to bed and woke up this morning and she said that she felt fine.
Should I take her to the dr. to get tested for lyme or any other disease that ticks carry? BTW I live in Iowa.
