Brief Answer:
Yes, Doxycyclin is a good drug.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern.

Doxycyclin is an antibiotic.
It is good for cough and cold.
So, yes, you can start Doxycycline.

Along with Doxycycline, also follow these:
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
3. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid hard to chew food for the time being.

You will mostly improve with all these in another 4-5 days.

Hope I have answered your query. I'll be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
