Any Suggestion For Body Muscles Pain And Variation In Temperature?

I found a tick on me 4/11. I pulled it out not realizing it was a tick and left the head. My body muscles hurt like I have the worst case of flu. It hurts to write, it hurts to play the piano. My temperature spikes high, then drops, then spikes high. Blood tests being done by infectious disease but was told may not find what tick gave me. This past Monday I felt great and I know I overdid it, Tuesday morning I could barely move and was in so much pain. I am on doxycycline and side effects are similar to what I have. But sore throat off and on for two days.

Hi,
you need to get a throat culture swab done.

Doxycycline has its own side effects and should be avoided.

Shift to cephalosporins and drink plenty of water and fruit juices.
Taking paracetamol with tramadol will be very useful along with multivitamins.

Consult a physician if the symptoms do not reduce.

Thank you
