Hello,

The Bactrim is an antibiotic used for the control of various bacterial organisms in cases of infections of various types. The Bactrim has no concern with pain relief properties, unless the reduction in inflammation will give pain reduction over a period of time. You need additional prescription of analgesic with anti inflammatory properties such as
- Diclofenac sodium
- Ibuprofen
- Acetaminophen
- Tramadol hydrochloride

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
