Doxycycline is not the cause of these symptoms. It sounds like you had a viral infection of some sort, and no virus is treated by any antibiotic. These treatments suggest a particular infection, for which doxycycline is the more reliable treatment. Resume treatment and finish the full 7 days; or at least follow your doctor's or the clinic's instructions. Good luck.
