What is the Treatment for Erythema Migrans in Children?
Early treatment is crucial to prevent the progression of Lyme disease. The standard treatment for erythema migrans in children typically involves a course of antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic and duration of treatment may vary depending on the child's age and the presence of any additional symptoms. Commonly used antibiotics include amoxicillin, doxycycline (for children over 8 years old), and cefuroxime. The treatment usually lasts for 10 to 21 days.
