Okay. We can have sex with him it okay or not,because I have a baby who is 8month now so it not problem with that, when his use it. So how long can talk to be use Doxycycline?
Brief Answer:
I can't say without the diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
You've got to ask him about the diagnosis. His doctor must have explained to him why doxycycline had to be used. Since doxycycline may be used for some sexually transmitted diseases I can't really advise you to have sex without knowing what the diagnosis was.
