It should because doxycycline is an antibiotic. If you intend to self medicate (not reccomended) do not stop taking it once you feel better, continue for at least a week or until it runs out if sooner than that. Do not take it for over a month. If you develop any rashes or some kind of reaction/side effect, stop its use and go see a doctor. If it's really bad, go to the ER.

Doxycycline is not a good drug for strep throat. Doxycycline is bacteriostatic drug. You have bactericidal drugs for strep throat. Penicillin is much better and effective.
