Brief Answer:
doxiciclin should be stopped

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
First, if there are breathing difficulties or dizziness, you should see doctor. If not, you should visit pharmacy and ask for antihistaminic medication if available. In every case,you should stop taking doxyciclin. This is obviously allergic reaction and other antibiotic should be taken instead of it. Wish you good health. Regards
