Antibiotic question...

My son was on two antibiotics cause he got bit by a dog tick. The tick test came back negative for Lyme and co-infections. Do I still keep him on the antibiotics just in case?

how old is he? why two antibiotics?? where are you located? because dog ticks don't usually carry lyme, but they carry rocky mountain spotted fever, out west mostly.

the protocol for protection when you first get bitten is usually to take an herb like samento or teasel root - it is safer and easier on the body, especially for kids.

I am not saying what to do, just suggesting what is usually done!!

awe he is so little! please do be careful! yes, i know for sure the blood tests are very unreliable. please bear this info in mind:

my three kids all had lyme (ages 3,7, 10) at the time. We figured it out 5 months in. They all took one antibiotic and one herb for 3 months and then remained on one herb for 6 months after. Most often with kids, one antibiotic is enough to fight off lyme and a coinfection - but not always. Just by the fact that you are doing this as a precautionary measure, i would think twice about giving him 2 antibiotics. when you take things unecessarily, it can cause more harm than good!! whereabouts do you live? has he started the antibiotics yet?

ok, good luck!
