A member asked:

A ten year old boy scout returned from a hiking trip 8 days ago and is now feeling weak with a low grade fever he has a circular rash on his right leg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time to see Dr: It is time for him to see his regular pcp and be evaluated. There are a variety of insect born diseases that can show up after a trip into the wild & it appears that this scout may have one of them. Proper evaluation and early treatment if indicated can prevent the problem from becoming a chronic one.
