How To Give A Proper Treatment For A Lyme Disease?

My 24 year old son has lyme disease. It was treated initially with antibiotics a few months ago but he is currently experiencing symptoms again--tiredness, achy, headaches. We are looking for a doctor in the Lancaster, PA area who is experienced with lyme disease treatment.

Hello,
Lyme disease is a tick born infectious disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.As this is a bacterial infection ,the main line of treatment is antibiotics.If disease is diagnosed earlier then antibiotic treatment is very effective an curative.As you said symptoms are recurring now then this may indicate there is reinfection or may be with other similar organisms.
So you can consult any general medicine doctors for the treatment of this.An antibiotic proper course with correct choice is the only treatment for this.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
