hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
Serious liver problems (liver failure), kidney failure, hyper sensitivity reactions,Sensitivity to the sun, Discolored teeth, anemia, nausea, vomitings these are major side effects of doxycycline
your condition may not be associated with drug it would have been coincidence
get your self examined by physician for swelling
it might be due some injury because it is changing color
regards
