Is there anything i can get from the grocery store or drug store for my tick bite until i can see a doctor?

No: Not only is there nothing available, treatment of a tick bite requires rapid treatment to prevent complications. Go to a physician or urgent care center right now.

My eyes get red often. It's been happening for the last 3 weeks or so. I was in hospital recently with a tick bite. The doctor did give me eye drops but it helps temporarily. I've also been getting cramps in my calves and pins and needles.
