Infected With Bartholins Cyst, Painful, Difficulty In Walking. Should I Start Taking Bactrim?

I have an extremely infected, what I believe to be, bartholins cyst. I have had two before and they have never been this painful and usually clear themselves us but this one is about the size of a large grape and it hurts to sit down and walk,. I am currently in Nigeria and have no current access to a doctor. I do have 2 prescriptions for Bactrim however. Should I begin taking the bactrim and see if it helps with the infection?
