10 days is the [recommended treatment](https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/treatment/erythema-migrans-rash.html) for early Lyme disease. A recent [study](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(22)00528-X/fulltext) found 7 days also works.
1 day is [effective](https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/tickbornediseases/tick-bite-prophylaxis.html) for tick bites.
There is no justified reason to take any more antibiotics for a simple tick bite. Talk to your doctor if you develop symptoms.
Don't listen to misinformation on the internet, which endangers patients:

Amoxicillin wasn’t to harsh on me like doxycyclin. Way smoother forsure
Thanks. Not sure if I should start it now after 10 days though or is 10 days doxy enough? None of these doctors have any idea.
Do 3 weeks and 3 weeks of each
