Question

Suitable medicine

Asked for Female, 84 Years

My mother has an eye infection and irritation in the eyes and the prescribed medicine is doxycycline and lactic acidosis bacillus capsules. She has suffered from Stevenson Johnson syndrome earlier. She is allergic to penicillin and most antibiotics. Will these cause issues by taking this medicine? What else do you suggest to cure infection?
