    An aggressive course of antibiotics is usually the first step in treatment, including two weeks of antibiotics through an intravenous (IV). In addition, you will likely be on daily antibiotics for one to two years. Other treatment options include: ingesting proper amounts of fluids; taking antimalarial medication for 12 to 18 months; using iron supplements to assist with anemia; taking vitamin D, vitamin K, calcium, and magnesium supplements; maintaining a high-calorie diet to help with nutrient absorption; taking corticosteroids to help ease inflammation; taking nonsteroidal pain medication.
