HI
Thanks for posting your query.
Tick bite can cause a disease called Typhus Fever which can cause prolonged exhaustion.
Also certain medications especially antibiotics do cause weakness and lack of energy.
So in your case it's a combination of both . But there is nothing to worry . It will subside gradually . Till then make sure you eat well , eat more of fruits.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
