What Causes Backache, Headache And Smelly Urine While On Bactrim?
I have been taking Bactrim now for 8 days because of an UTI. I have taken this medicine in the past for UTI s and it has seemed to work well. But this time I still have the burning, backache, headache and unpleasant odor upon urinating. Should I take a different medication?
Hi, It seems that this time bacteria produicng infection might be resistant to Bactrim. Go for urine testing and culture sensitivity test. This will give causative organisms and antibiotic medicine working against these organisms. After report go for long course of specific antibiotic medicine. Take plenty of water. Ok and take care.
