Abscess and cracked: Get the tooth out as soon as possible. See an Oral Surgeon. Doxycycline is not one of the recommended antibiotics to use and that's part of the problem. Get professional care NOW! I would worry about trying to treat yourself much more than I would worry about how to properly and professionally treat the problem! You have only yourself to blame. Learn from this experience. Get regular checkups!
