When to Seek Medical Attention During Doxycycline Treatment

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions like difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or hives. These are serious and require immediate medical attention.

Report any persistent or worsening symptoms of your infection, even after starting treatment. This includes but isn’t limited to: continued vaginal discharge, painful urination, persistent sores, or unexplained fever. Don’t hesitate to contact your doctor for clarification.

Medication Side Effects Requiring Attention

Doxycycline can cause side effects. Seek medical advice if you experience severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (especially if it’s bloody or watery), severe stomach pain, or jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes). These can indicate a serious problem.

Other Reasons to Contact Your Doctor

Contact your doctor if you experience unusual bruising or bleeding, signs of a new infection, or if you are experiencing medication interactions with other drugs you are taking. It is important to provide a complete medication history to your doctor.
