Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or hives. These are serious symptoms requiring immediate medical attention.
Severe Symptoms Requiring Immediate Attention
Seek immediate medical help if your UTI symptoms worsen or don’t improve within a few days of starting doxycycline. This includes increased pain or burning during urination, fever above 101°F (38.3°C), chills, persistent nausea or vomiting, or blood in your urine. These could indicate a more serious infection.
Symptoms Warranting a Doctor’s Visit
Schedule an appointment with your doctor if you experience persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or signs of a secondary infection like a vaginal yeast infection or oral thrush. Doxycycline can disrupt your gut flora, leading to these complications. Don’t hesitate to contact your doctor for any concerns, even if they seem minor. Your health is paramount.
