Early treatment of Lyme disease is crucial to prevent complications. Antibiotics are the primary treatment, with doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime axetil being commonly prescribed. Treatment duration typically ranges from 10 to 21 days, depending on the stage and severity of the infection. Prompt treatment usually leads to a full recovery, but some patients may experience lingering symptoms, known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS).
