A few months ago I came here worried about my 2-year with three bullseyes and a primary care physician that wasn't lyme literate.
Thanks to the encouragement and pushing, I found a lyme literate pediatrician in nyc that is amazing. My son did not have symptoms other than the rashes and just finished four weeks of Ceftin and azithromaxin as he developed an allergy to amoxycillin. The next step is to send blood to igenex in three months and determine if he is lyme free.
For now, I have lots of faith in the new doctor, there are no symptoms and he finished a full month of strong antibiotics.
Thanks again for the support and even if he shows symptoms later, we have the right doctor and know what to do.

That's wonderful!! I wasn't aware of any pediatric LLMD's in NYC .. but glad you found one you are happy with!
Be sure to keep the child on probiotics for a good while... forever sounds good to me!
I'll move this to medical questions so you will get more feedback on what is a medical problem.
