When to Seek Medical Attention

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

Seek medical advice if you notice any signs of a serious infection, including high fever (over 101°F or 38.3°C), persistent vomiting, severe diarrhea, or worsening symptoms despite taking doxycycline.

Report any new or worsening symptoms affecting your liver, such as jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), dark urine, or abdominal pain. These could indicate liver problems related to doxycycline use.

Do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider if you develop unusual bruising or bleeding, or notice changes in your bowel movements, such as prolonged constipation or bloody stools.
