Doxycycline passes into breast milk in fairly small amounts. However, the calcium in your milk sticks to the doxycycline so the baby cannot absorb very much. When used for a short time, doxycycline is unlikely to cause side effects in your baby.
Next Steps
see if fever has come down after antibiotics usage and monitor how many times child is passing urine in a day. >4-5 times means he's taking feeds adequately
Health Tips
look out for lethargy in the baby or if your fever persists more more than 5 days Or fever appears in the baby. hope this helped
