Should Bactrim Be Stopped In Case It Causes An Itchy Rash On The Back?

I began taking Bactrim today and just noticed a red spot on my back which is somewhat itchy. Should I stop taking the Bactrim? I m taking it for a UTI. I also noticed that I have a sensation in my throat where it feels like something is stuck. Can eat and drink OK.
