Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been taking Doxycycline Hyclate for possible Lyme disease. I ve just finished my 2 week supply. In the past 2 days I ve experienced some rectal pain that is most noticeable when I m sitting down, coughing. It doesn t seem to be a problem when relieving myself.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Doxicyclin iis an antibiotic taken orally. When taken over a long period... it causes destruction of normal intestinal flora ... causes constipation or loose motions, bloating- also rectal sores the total effect being rectal pain... more profound in sitting & coughing. Remedy is replacement of Lactobacilli preparation & digestive enzymes. Thanks
