Hi
Lyme's disease is a bacterial infection , hence antibiotics are given for the treatment.
Lyme disease is best treated in the early stages. Early treatment is a simple 14 to 21 day course of oral antibiotics. This can eliminate all traces of infection. Medications used to treat Lyme disease are:
1. doxycycline for adults and children older than 8 years old
2. cefuroxime and amoxicillin for adults, younger children, and women who are nursing or breast-feeding
Hope this information was of help.
Thank you.
