Swollen Lymph Nodes Near Bikini Line. Taken Doxycycline. Pregnancy Test Positive. What To Do?

Swollen Lymp nodes near bikni line a little bit into pubic hair after tick bite:

I got a tick bite this past Monday. Tuesday i saw my mom and she squeezes it because she wanted to make sure i got everything out, and i know i did. That same night my bikni line area started to swell. Wednesday went to the Doctor he gave me doxycyline 100mg to take. only taken 2 so far. today is now Thursday and its still swollen. its freaking me out. and I'm really scared. i also took a pregnancy test today and found out i am pregnant. Im also having a pain every so often behind my knee leg area........i don't know what i should do.

Hello
thanks for your query.
Doxycycline is contraindicated in pregnancy.
However you have taken it for only 2 days, so do not worry right now.
The background risk of anomalies for any child in the general population is also not exactly zero.
You can go ahead after a discussion with your obstetrician.
Take care.
