What Are Lyme Disease Symptoms and Treatment Options?

Understanding Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted through tick bites, prevalent in many regions including Kansas. Recognizing early symptoms is vital for effective treatment and preventing complications.

Common Symptoms of Lyme Disease

Patients often experience fever, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, symptoms can progress to neurological issues and joint inflammation.

How Is Lyme Disease Diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves physical evaluation, assessment of recent tick exposure, and blood tests like ELISA and Western blot. Accurate diagnosis allows for timely treatment, reducing the risk of long-term effects.

Treatment Options for Lyme Disease

Standard treatment includes antibiotics such as doxycycline or amoxicillin, typically prescribed for 2-4 weeks. Early intervention results in high recovery rates and fewer complications.
