hi
You must have a check up with an ENT specialist if any sinusitis is suspected.Doxycycline is an antibiotic for infection in pharyrnx or sinuses, oral cavity etc and is only indicated when infection is suspected.infection in URTI is accompanied with sneeze or congestive nose, sore throat, fever, mild post nasal drip cough on lying down ,nose blocks rtc.it is safer to consult your doctor for diagnosis and medication.
