Tick bite!! Should I worry??

[hello20088]

I was bitten by ticks in a cottage, in the end of July. By that time, I found 2 ticks attached to my body - 1 was "big", light brown color (looked like the lone star tick), the other one was tiny like the dot here (.)!
I've experienced pain in all lymph nodes some days after the bites, also pain in the chest left side, I don't know what other symptoms, as I've been feeling ill.

I took doxyxiciline for 15 days 1 week after the bites, I don't know if that's what made me feel drowsy.

I still have the spots of the bites itching a lot and they look awful.

I thought doxycycline would have solved the tick problem (whatever it could be), but... now I found ONE MORE TICK, attached to my neck (strange, as I've been searching it and didn't find ticks ther before, maybe it was somewhere else, like in my hair and it moved to my neck? Is this possible?)

I have gone to that cottage only once. That's the only place that I could have had contact with ticks. Unless they were in my clothes when I arrived from the cottage and now are at my home. I'm paranoid!!

So it means I've had this 3rd tick attached to my body for more than 1 month!!! It also looks like the lone star tick.
When I found it, I had stopped taking doxycicline for 2 weeks.
I've been extremely drowsy since I detached that tick (3 days ago). My lymph nodes still hurt.

I want to know if I should take more doxycicline or if I need other treatment.. I'm in a country that doesn't have much knowledge about diseases caused by ticks.

I don't know if I can develop Lyme or another disease, I just want to get cured for whatever makes my lymph nodes hurt so much and makes me drowsy, etc.

Hi I am thirteen years old. Could you help me. How did you feel after the tick bite? Did you feel it or did you just see it? Have you been diagnosed with lyme disease?

I seriously doubt that the tick was on you for a month.  You probably picked up another one.  I have pulled 3 off my head this summer after walking in tall grass/weeds.  They get on you pretty easy and are hard to see.  The Lone start tick has a white spot on it's back.  If your lymph nodes are still sore then it sounds like you could have some kind of infection.
