Antibiotics Treatment for Lyme Disease

Antibiotics are the primary treatment for Lyme disease, which is caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites. Early-stage Lyme disease is typically treated with oral antibiotics like doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime for about 10 to 21 days. These medications can effectively eliminate the infection. In more advanced cases, intravenous antibiotics may be required. While most people recover fully with treatment, some may experience lingering symptoms, known as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). It's important to seek medical care if you suspect Lyme disease for proper diagnosis and treatment.
