Hello,
It sounds like your doctor has diagnosed you with either a bacterial middle ear infection or a bacterial sinus infection. For both of these conditions doxycycline, which is an antibiotic, is appropriate. Be careful out in the sun as doxycycline can make you more prone to sunburns.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
