A member asked:
My son got lyme disease over the summer. he took antibiotics and now hes starting to get sick again, how is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on diagnosis: The sickness he has now may be because the Lyme disease was not completely treated or it may not be due to Lyme Disease. You need to discuss this possibility with your physicians and ask then to have him see an infectious disease specialist

If you take antibiotics only to treat disease A (acne) and get antibiotic resistance, does this also create antibiotic resistance to treat disease B (unrelated bacterial disease such as pneumonia, lyme disease, etc.)?
