LYME and Bartonella rashs, need doctor recommendation

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am new here. My 6.5 year old son was bit by a lyme tick about 8 weeks ago.

After developing a bullseye rash his doctor put him on a 21 day round of

Augementin. 2 weeks after we finished that he got what I discovered is a

Bartonella rash. So for the past 5 days he has been on both Augmentin and

Azithromycin, he will be on both of those for a month going forward. He has no

other symptoms as yet. My doctor is a general pediatrician so he has recommended

that we see a Lyme/ tick bite specialist. We are in Hoboken and we can go into

NYC are anywhere in the area.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a specialist. My son has a diagnosis of

mild aspergers as well, but so far there haven't been any phychological

symptoms.

Thank you! I am very worried and want to get on this ASAP!!!

Hi,

No local doc recommendations, but do be sure to add lots of probiotics separated

several hours from the antibiotics to keep his gut flora intact.
