Welcome to the forum. I am so glad you have found us because you probably have a lot of questions.
We ask all new members to read through the "New to Lyme-start here" at the top of the page. It has some great information that will be very helpful to you.
Could you give us a little information about
her? Did she have a tick bite? Did she have a bullseye rash? Have you had her tested?
Also are you seeing a LLMD (Lyme literate medical doctor?)
The reason I ask is that 100 mg of Doxy for 10 days is not enough. I am not taking Doxy but those who do generally say that it takes 200 mg. and that it needs to be taken much longer. Sometimes for months depending on the severity and longevity of symptoms.
What are her symptoms? It is a good rule of thumb to treat for 2 months beyond any symptoms.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. We want to help!

How old is your daughter? If she's a child....that could be the reason for the lower dosage...it is based on weight.
how long was she sick before starting treatment?
