Finish the antibiotic course. If your symptoms are not relieved you can do a urine routine test. Urine culture can be donenif required. It's better to consult and do these tests.

Yes u can take the tests on antibiotics but it's result can be affected. But better to take urine routine and urine culture test as u are having clear cut urinary symptoms. If symptoms are there on tab doxycycline then it means your urinary infection bacteria is resistant to it. So better to go for test and change or add different antibiotics. Consultation required
