Hello
Bactrim i.etrimethoxole+ trimethoprim , while ciprofloxacin ( quinolones ) as these both drugs are antibiotics .
Usuallu antibiotic causes hyper acidity or gastritis .
Gastritis causes pain in abdomen , also nausea & vomiting . These abdomen related problems are side effects of these drugs . I recommend you take mucaine gel ( antacid ) withj pantoprazole- D for pain relief in abdomen.
Now main question is boils in armpit . May be lymphadenitis or enlargement of lymph node( s ) .
Primary reason may be else where .
Sometimes ingrown hairs infection may be the reason of infection of lymph nodes ( as in your case) .
When this type of patient visit me I advise them intravenous antibiotics like cefatzidime 1 gm twice in day for 5 days.
Antiinflammatory drugs as aceclofenac 200 mg C R twice in days. This is a prescription drugs so please consult a physician and get his opinion.
