Ouch!: I have a question. Was there any involvement of your toenail? Swelling, pain, tenderness or pus in the nail area? If so, i would encourage you to see a podiatrist. If there is nail growing into tissue, it will continue to act as a nidus for infection. Home it gets better soon.

See a podiatrist: First see the podiatrist and have it evaluated. They may need to refer you to an infectious disease doctor if needed.

Follow up: I suggest you go back to whom ever gave you the doxycycline to get a different antibiotic.
