Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Sudden Swollen, Sore Throat With Serious Cough And Mucus Be Due To Intake Of Bactrim Ds For Sinus Infection?
I was prescribed a Bactrim-ds generic for a sinus infection. But within hours of taking it I developed a swollen and sore throat and a serious cough as if there is fluid in my lungs. These coughs come on suddenly and last a minute or so. They are strong and involve mucus this a side effect to the Bactrim?
Hi, Bactrim is known to cause these effects on rare occasions. I think it is likely that Bactrim is the cause in your case as the symptoms have started since you have started the drug. I suggest you speak to your doctor about changing to an alternative for your sinus infection. Regards, Dr K A Pottinger, MBChB FRCA
