Hi
With you query, using antibiotics is safe under doctor's advise but at the same time these antibiotics are not indicated when ever you feel sick for any other reason since you may develop resistance against specific organisms. Doxycycline is a safe drug unless you are not allergic to the same. Do not take milk along with drug, since it may hamper its absorption.Hope it is useful.
