As death nears, the body slows down. People donât need as much food or fluids as before, so they donât feel hungry or thirsty. It may go against your instincts, but try to let the person decide when and what they want to eat or drink. A person nearing death may also have problems swallowing. Donât force them to eat or drink if this is the case.
Doxycycline is a prescription antibiotic. In most situations, the product is not appropriate for use during pregnancy due to the risk of problems such as tooth discoloration. The manufacturers of doxycycline recommend that pregnant women take doxycycline only if the potential benefits of the medication outweigh the possible risks to the fetus.
Doxycycline does not seem to cause birth defects when taken at less than 17 weeks. It can affect the baby's bones when taken after 17 weeks. So don't worry.
