Need Help with Medication

[TurboGirl]

Hi Everyone, I am a LPN and my father in law has a URI and md put him on doxycycline since this is really the only antibiotic he is not allergic to. He has had bad side effects with anitibiotics/other medications in the past like Bell's Palsy, irregular HR, kidney failure. He is allergic to Levaquin, z-pak, penicillin, sudafed, tramadol, erythromycin, ceftin (put him in kidney failure 2005), NSAIDS, marolides and ketolides. The pharmacy and md have said to him Doxycycline really is your last option. Does anyone else know of any other medication that he can possible look into. He has a lot of medical issue like ulcerated colitis, left bundle branch block and much more. He is worried if this doesn't work what other options does he has. I am still researching but figured I would put this out there and see if anyone else has some ideas I can look at. Thanks so much for your help in advance!
