Brief Answer:
Wait for two more days and then seek further care.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
Bactrim is usually prescribed for a week, hence in my opinion you should wait for couple of more days. Whats are the signs and symptoms that are still troubling you at the moment.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
