A member asked:
Hi there. i have been on two courses of antibiotics for tick bite fever. i am not getting better. in fact feeling worse. it's been two weeks?

DETAILS!!!!!!: Which "tick bite fever"???? How was the diagnosis determined? Which "antibiotics"? The typical African tick bite fever resolves in 3 weeks. Doxycycline helps but not dramatically. Notify the Dr if you are still sick after 1 more week.
