The method of removing ticks from people is through the use of topical medications (mometasone furoate cream, etc.), oral medications (loratadine tablets, etc.), and surgical treatments depending on the depth of the tick’s penetration.
1. Topical medication: If the tick bite penetrates into the skin superficially, medication such as ether can be applied to the skin, and some ticks can exit automatically. If the skin is red, swollen and itchy, you can apply compound dexamethasone cream or mometasone furoate cream to relieve the inflammation.
2. Oral medication: Some patients may have systemic allergic reactions after being bitten by ticks, and need to take oral loratadine tablets, vitamin C tablets, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets and other medications.
3. Surgical treatment: If the tick bite is deep, relying on medication alone, it is difficult for the tick to exit from the body automatically. It is necessary to cut the skin of the tick’s entry site through surgery after local disinfection to remove the tick body.
Patients should seek prompt medical attention and treat the ticks strictly under the guidance of the doctor, and should not treat the ticks on their own. The above medications should be used in accordance with medical advice.
