I've been taking doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules for acne, 100 mg daily for a month now. But every time I take them, I get really dizzy and feel super weak. The nausea gets pretty bad, and I often have to lie down right away. Is this the right dosage for me? It doesnt seem normal to feel like this. What should I do?

Discuss these side effects with your prescribing doctor. In the meantime, you can try taking doxycycline with food to see if it helps reduce nausea. If the symptoms persist, your doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication.

I recently tried to put a neem stick through my ear lobe after not wearing earrings for two months, and now it's infected. I'm wondering if I should try using Boroplus or maybe turmeric and mustard oil to treat it. What would you recommend? I'm not sure which is better for this kind of situation.
