The duration of antibiotic treatment for tick bites typically depends on the specific circumstances, such as the type of tick and the presence of symptoms. For Lyme disease, a common recommendation is a 14 to 21-day course of doxycycline. If the tick is removed promptly and there are no symptoms or signs of Lyme disease, antibiotics may not be necessary. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
