Hello lybrate-user, most doctors give doxy to prevent any secondary bacteria infections. Given your age and assuming that you must not be having any comorbid conditions. Doxy for 5 days it is very highly unlikely that you are at risk of developing black fungus. Maintain proper hygiene, and have a balanced nutrition. Take care.
