What Are The Side Effects And Treatment For Tick Bite?

Hello,, I live in Nothern california, Got a tick bite this morning. We removed the small tick, which was pretty much imbedded. Thought we got all of it out, have it in a jar to get it tested, but the location of the bite looks quite nasty for such a small tick. Can I wait til tomorrow afternoon to call a doctor land maybe have someone look at it? Thank you
