  1. Why You Need To Take Extra Care Of Children Suffering From Lyme Disease Dr. Peter Dobie

  2. Children who’re suffering from Lyme disease should be considered as special cases. This is because children often fail to generally clarify or explain what feels wrong, and as a result, they may simply end up becoming grumpy, irritable and bad-tempered. Children have to suffer a lot due to Lyme disease, especially when their bodies hurt, when the illness disrupts their sleeping time, when they struggle to survive in school, when they don't have a mood for playing outdoor games. Due to these issues, children may feel lost, confused and betrayed by their parents at home and teachers in the school who often fail to identify that a kid is suffering from a problem and needs immediate help.

  3. It’s quite common that parents fail to identify and understand what is considered as the normal baseline of a child. They often think that their kid is just dealing with the issues which are faced by any other kid. They simply fail to recognise the fact that their child is really having health issues. Since the indications of Lyme diseasecan be non-specific, dubious and alterable, people may not understand that their kids are sick. They may associate them with making things up to pick up attention or to avoid school. Kids suffering from Lyme regularly experience difficulty in the school as the disease can add to behavioural issues and learning disabilities.

  4. Basic signs of infections in young patients • Extreme fatigue which doesn’t go away by rest • Headaches • Insomnia • Dizziness • Fevers/chills • Debilitated focus and concentration • Abdominal pain, nausea • Joint pain • Failure to sustain attention • Bad short-term memory • Trouble in writing and reading • Trouble in thinking • Trouble in expressing thoughts • Noise and light sensitivity

  5. One of the biggest problems with Lyme disease is that it’s difficult to diagnose, even for many doctors. So you need to visit the best Lyme disease doctor in Sydney who can identify the symptoms of Lyme disease easily. Thousands of people, including children suffer from Lyme disease in Australia. Still, most of them can’t get proper care and treatment because doctors often fail to diagnose the disease.
