Does Aching Sinuses And Bloody Mucus While On Bactrim-DS Require Medical Attention?
I am a 80 year old woman and am taking 2 Bactrim-DS tablets daily for a bladder infection (It seems to be better). My sinuses have been hurting since I started taking the Bactrim-DS and I am noticing a trace of blood in the mucus. Do I need to report this to my doctor. I started taking it last Friday.

Hello,
I think you should stop taking it. The bleeding episode is a sign that you should stop it.
Bleeding and bruising are rare side effects of Bactrim that makes you stop taking it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka,
