4. Fever is common with anaplasmosis.
Since you have a weak immune system, the tick bite caused the fever. Even if you take over-the-counter medicines, the fever may or may not go away on its own. While you’re waiting to see the doctor, place ice, cold towel over your head for 15 to 20 minutes. Place a fan near you while you’re lying down to allow the cold air to get on you. After a few hours, the fever should go down. During this time, go to your doctor, so that he or she can diagnose your condition and give you a prescription for medicine.
Without going to the doctor, the fever won’t go away and the symptom could get worse and could lead to death. A fever shouldn’t last, but a few days. It may cost you to see a physician, but you are saving your life at the same time.
