Noticed Swelling Of Body After Using Bactrim And Flagyl

Hi, I ve been taking Bactrim and flagyl for an infectious colitis starting Monday night. Since yesterday afternoon I ve noticed slight swelling in my entire body, hands, feet, abdomen and even face. Tonight, I have a slight dull pain in my right lower back. Should I stop taking this medication?
