What Do Rashes On The Body While On Bactrim Indicate?

My daughter has been taking Bactrim for 7 days. She has had a fever for the past 48 hours and today has developed a rash on her trunk and forearms with very flushed. We saw the pediatrician yesterday about the fever and she said to just give her Tylenol for the fever and continue taking the Bactrim. I left a message with her nurse today about the rash but haven t heard back. Should we stop the Bactrim?

Hello, Thanks for the queryBactrim can cause allergic rashes. Once a person/ child develops any such reaction it is better to stop the drug. Because following doses can aggravate the the allergy . Hence as a precaution please discontinue the same. Thanks.
