Brief Answer:
This is side effect of sulfathemox. Please, report to your doctor!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you have reported. A review of this information is typical of a drug reaction to sulfathemox. I will recommend that you report this to your doctor and always avoid taking this medication and others from the same class. If you have not stopped taking this medication, please stop it immediately. Drink much water as fluid loss is common. BE SURE TO REPORT TO ALL YOUR DOCTORS AND PRESCRIBERS TO FACTOR THIS IN.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
