Are there any doctors who are familiar with Lymes disease and its treatment in the Binghamton, NY area?  My son has had a bulls eye rash for 2 weeks and its beginning to fade.  If it is Lymes, what is the correct treatment if he was bitten 2 or 3 weeks ago?
Hello, Thank you for the query. About Lyme disease, this is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria called Cordelia burgdorferi. It is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms, history of exposure to bite, as well as blood serological tests. This is transmitted by tick bite to the humans. As this is a bacterial infection, the main line of treatment is antibiotics. If disease is diagnosed earlier than antibiotic treatment is very effective a curative. So my suggestion is consulted any internal medicine doctor or doctor specialized in infectious diseases nearby can diagnose and treat this disease well. Hope this helps. Take care. Thank you.
