I'm dealing with tuberculosis and currently taking my TB meds three times a day. I've been wondering if it's okay to take Doxycycline alongside my AntiTB meds. Is it safe to mix these, or should I be concerned about any interactions?

I've been smoking for the last couple of years but stopped after getting a bad cold recently. Since then, I've been coughing a lot, and I'm a bit worried because the mucus changed from yellow to white. Is that normal? I've also been gargling and doing some hot water breathing to help my throat. Should I be concerned about anything else?
