Hi!
I appreciate your concern, nothing to worry.
Vomiting is one of the important side effect of Doxycycline can produce which can be prevented if taken after the meals. Since you have not completed the course of antibiotic and the symptoms are still persisting you are advised to complete the course of anitbiotic. If your symptoms still persist then consult your doctor.
