Hi,
I have gone through the medical history of your girlfriend and understood your concerns.
If anti-histamine tablets are not helping to resolve her bad reaction, then, should send her to ER as soon as possible as she might need injections.
If Doxycycline is giving allergic reaction, then, another alternative is Mefloquine. Can discuss it further with an infectious disease specialist.
