Syphilis is a systemic disease caused by Treponema pallidum, characterized by 3 sequential clinical stages and by years of latency. Common symptoms include genital ulcers, skin lesions, meningitis, aortic disease, and neurologic syndromes. Diagnosis is by serologic tests and adjunctive studies selected on the basis of the stage of disease. Penicillin is the drug of choice.
Please see the web pages for more details on Syphilis, Syphilis-primary, Syphilis-secondary, Syphilis-tertiary, Levofloxacin (generic name) Levaquin (brand name) and Doxycycline

The best treatment is 1 injection of Bicillin LA 2.4 million units. The next best would be the doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 14 days. Levaquin is not currently recommended by the CDC for treatment of syphillis (that's not to say it won't work, just that it is not what is recommended). In any case, a doctor will have to diagnose and treat this condition. She needs to get to the doctor soon!!

Chuck E. Cheese may be a lucrative place, but it would be more of a "take a baby girl and leave your son behind with a note" instead of an actual trade. Your son will be fine as long as you give him a lot of tokens to show how much you love him. Just remember that you can't trade back when your 15 year old daughter comes home pregnant, or becomes a stripper. You are on your own.

I hope your not self diagnosing! Levaquin is used for respiratory, skin and urinary tract symptoms. Its a broad spectrum antibiotic.
doxycycline is used for anthrax exposure and you need to weigh the risks against the good it will do. This does not appear to be something for syphilis.
GO SEE A DOCTOR!!! Let someone with MD behind their name make this decision.
