Nausea and Vomiting
Patients with anaplasmosis from a tick bite may experience nausea and vomiting along with the fever, chills and headache. These symptoms indicate a bacterial infection. Home care includes bland foods, plenty of fluids and rest. Patients should limit caffeine to prevent dehydration, which can occur with a fever, nausea and vomiting.
Anyone with these signs that don't resolve in 48 hours needs to speak with their primary care doctor. Antibiotics are necessary to manage anaplasmosis. Delays may lead to serious complications.
