Brief Answer:
HAve you ever taken bactrim before?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Is there any rash on your body and have you ever taken Bactrim before? Also, can you upload your urinalysis report to me for review? Report your temperature as measured to me.

Essentially, I will review the information to see if Bactrim is very necessary and whether you could be developing an allergy to bactrim. If you have any known drug allergies, report them to me as well.

I await your responses and would provide specific recommendations based on that. Thanks and waiting...

No I have never taken Bactrim before. My temp. Got up to 100.4 before I took 2 Tylenol. I don't have the report on my urine but ER and my doctor said nothing was in it. No rash

Brief Answer:
Discontinue this and talk to your doctor!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will recommend you discontinue this and follow up with your doctor. The seem to be no immediate urgency taking the medication and you can actually wait to make sure you are not having an allergic reaction to Bactrim. If you feel any pain urinating or notice any rash, report immediately for further guidance.

I wish you well.
