Brief Answer:
Please, get laboratory tests done!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pus coming out of your urethra. The information provided is suggestive of a sexually transmitted infection. Persistence of discharge after 14days of treatments means the germ cannot be treated with doxycycline. I will suggest that you get a culture of this discharge to identify the exact germ causing this infection and what antibiotic can treat it fully.
In all, see a doctor for more testing. This way the germ and what best antibiotic can be used to address this condition.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

So i should not take more doxycycline ?
Im asking this because, as my observation i'm 85% cured. Pus ratio is very low now.
Also suggest me diet, and food that i should avoid in these days.

Brief Answer:
If pus has reduced significantly, then complete the treatment!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this follow up.
If pus has reduced significantly, follow through and complete the regimen because this is suggestive of a positive response to treatment. I will recommend you avoid milk and milk products close to when you take this drug as they can reduce absorption. Also, avoid sun exposure because this drug can cause serious sunburn. Finally, drink much water to stay hydrated and avoid stomach problems.
