My daughter was put on Bactrim last night for a bladder infection?


shes 4 yrs old has had 3 doses now she is coughing,has red itchy eyes and bright red cheeks. Do you think this could be a sign of an allergic reaction
Ive read into it to see and some of them seem like they could be allergy symptoms, Does anyone out there have a Bactrim allergy and if so what does it do to you. Thank you!

What are the long term effects of Bactrim/Septra.?


My mother (she’s 50) has been on Bactrim for several years now due to reoccurent UTI caused by a bladder ulcer. What are the major concerns for taking this over the long term (other than bacteria resistant infections) Also she had an episode of tachycardia (160-172) for an hour and the next day she checked her B/P and it was 86/72. Her pulse is usually in the 60’s and her B/P is normally 110/70-ish. Could this have anything to do with her long term Bactrim use? (And yes I already told her to go to the Dr.’s, she is there at this moment…I am just trying to find out for my own information) Thank you everyone who answers.
