My dog is hiding in pain after tick treatment. What can I do?

Question

We applied really strong medicine to get rid of the ticks on my dog. We think it hurt him a lot especially cause he has open scars. He was going crazy cause of the pain and now hes in hiding. He doesnt want to come out. How do we fix this? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 24 days old | 7.496 lbs

Bathing him with cool water and a mild shampoo or dish soap can help to remove any excess chemicals of his coat and may provide some relief. In cases of broken skin I would recommend oral preventive therapy such as simparica or bravecto if available in the future
