Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have an 11 year old grandaughter who has been showing signs of lyme disease but pedi Dr. has been dismissing it as growing pains, alllergies, etc She is now at Maine Medical Ctr. because her mom has pushed for more testing... they want to do a spinal tap. Is this safe and what is the usual course of treatment on young children.
