A member asked:
I have doxycycline how long do i take these pills and how many times per day do i take them to treat the tonsillitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't take doxy: This is probably a virus, but could be strep throat. In any case, you should not take left over doxycycline for this purpose. If it's a virus, no antibiotic will help; and doxy is not the best antibiotic for strep infections. Contact your doctor and let her decide whether or what antibiotic to prescribe. Good luck!
