I am trying to reach the best research in this field of studyThank you Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,As you were diagnosed to have lyme disease which is an infectious disease caused by Borrelia bacteria and it is a tick borne disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks.The symptoms are suggestive of the lyme disease.I would suggest oral doxycycline, if you have taken this and if there is resistant to this you can take either cefuroxime or azithromycin. These medications should be taken for atleast one to four weeks.The drugs used to treat this condition is not known to cause any cancerous conditionsThank you.
