Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health problems.
I gone through your description. It doxycycline is not effective for the infection for which it was given and now you got throat infection for which augmentin has been started. It's second day of augmentin, so you just complete antibiotic course. Mean while do warm salt water gargles and take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. Take paracetamol 500 mg tablets 8 hourly for headache and fever.

Dr. Hiren
