Will doxycycline treat infection in cartilage piercing if having adverse reactions to levoflaxcin? dr switched me to cipro but scared to take bc of reactions to levo. i was prescribed doxycycline at urgent care but was told was by ent cipro is better

Doxy probably OK: Some bacteria that cause such infections, such as Pseudomonas, are more likely to respond to ciprofloxacin than to doxycycline. But doxy isn't a bad choice, and if you have had significant side effects with levofloxacin, it may be reasonable to avoid cipro. If there is drainage, it probably can be tested to determine the exact cause. Discuss further with the ENT doc.
