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 having some issues with my breathing, and it feels like I'm choking when I cough. This has been going on for the past week. Before this, I'd been dealing with a cough for about 10 days. I'm taking medication prescribed by my doctor, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be going on, and should I be doing something different to get relief?

Take amoxclav 625 mg BD for 5 days , sinarets tab for 5 days and syrup ascoril 5ml trice a day
