How to Treat Lyme Disease
Doctors prescribe antibiotics to fight bacterial infections caused by Lyme disease. The chances of getting cured are high if you receive treatment early.
Your healthcare provider will recommend these drugs to treat your condition:
- Doxycycline
- Cefuroxime axetil
- Amoxicillin
If you have mild swelling in your joint, you will have to continue using oral antibiotics. Your doctor will recommend intravenous antibiotics if vital organs like the heart, brain and joints are affected.
