Posted on Tue, 11 Feb 2014
Question: I had asked a question before about Doxycycline Antibiotic. Now I have another question about the same medication. I had to stop taking Doxycycline because I started getting throat pain, and goes through to my back. It's painful to eat or drink. What is going on? I'm worried.
