Alternative to Doxycycline
My partner and I were diagnosed with Chalmydia recently. We were prescribed Doxycycline for the same. However, she has been experiencing side effects such as dizziness, nauseousness, headaches and rashes, etc. Should she continue to take the antibiotic along with an antihistamine or should she discontinue? Is there an alternative?
