Should I repeat my Lyme disease tests in 2 weeks if I have a negative result now and should I stop taking the antibiotic?

Good evening. I have been taking the antibiotic Doxycycline for a week because I was bitten by a tick and there was erythema, but not wandering. Today I did the test after 23 days after the bite and in two classes it is negative. Dr. decided to postpone the antibiotic. I am afraid that the body has not yet produced antibodies and therefore the result is negative. Should I repeat the result in 2 weeks and continue to take the antibiotic?

Badania warto powtórzyć za ok. 2 tygodnie - przeciwciała wytwarzają się po ok. 3-4 tygodniach od ukąszenia.
Jeśli chodzi o terapię Doxycycliną - jest to lek dostępny wyłącznie na receptę, dlatego o sposobie leczenia, w tym zaprzestaniu jego stosowania, musi zdecydować lekarz. Farmaceuta nie ma uprawnień w tym zakresie.
