Should I worry about lyme disease?

I was bit by a tick a few days ago. I now have a spotted rash on my stomach and have felt fatigued, not well for the past few days. The rash on my stomach is itchy and swollen.

See your doctor and get tested.

You would have to take antibiotics for 2 weeks but the symptoms can persist maybe for 6 months
